Tony Parsons’ ‘Your Neighbour’s Wife’ Set for TV Adaptation – The Hollywood Reporter

Tony Parsons’ novel Your Neighbour’s Wife is being eyed for adaptation.

U.K. screenwriters Rebecca Pollock and Kas Graham are attached to write the serial, which is being described as a “propulsive erotic thriller.” The book, which dropped in 2021, follows Tara Carver — a happily married mother who finds herself willing to go to extremes when a one-night stand reveals himself to be a manipulative stalker.

A+E Media Group, Stockholm Syndrome and Endor Productions are partnering on the project, which has yet to be placed at a platform, and will be taking it to market shortly. “A+E Media Group is thrilled to be working with Kas, Rebecca and our wonderful partners at Stockholm Syndrome and Endor to develop a bingeworthy new series based on Tony’s acclaimed IP,” said Alexandra Finlay, A+E Media Group VP of scripted international co-productions.

Parsons, a journalist who’s written for NME, The Daily Telegraph, Daily Mirror and The Sun, is perhaps best known for his series of detective books following the character Max Wolfe — though his only previous work to successfully be adapted was 1999 novel Man and Boy.

Pollock and Graham don’t have a great deal of credits, though their feature screenplay Betty Ford made the 2019 Black List.
