Former Killing Eve writer and showrunner, Suzanne Heathcote, is delving into the sinister world of the modern housing market for her next project, which is an adaptation of the novel Best Offer Wins
Killing Eve writer Suzanne Heathcote's next project promises to be both gripping and tremendously fun - with an A-list actress rumoured to star. Heathcote is officially set to write the drama adaptation of Best Offer Wins - the debut novel from former Washington Post journalist Marisa Kashino.
Despite not being published yet, the adaptation rights for Best Offer Wins sparked a battle with multiple bidders, with Hulu coming out on top. The novel tells the story of 37-year-old Margo, a publicist who becomes obsessed with a not-yet-listed house after a gruelling year of house hunting.
‌
Margo resorts to stalking, trespassing and scheming to land the house she believes will set her marriage and life on its proper course. Kashino's debut book has been compared to Gone Girl for its gripping narrative, black comedy and spiral into horror.
‌
The novel also tackles issues of class, gender and race expectations and the modern housing crisis in the US. It is set for publication on November 25, 2025.
Emmy-nominated actress Greta Lee (Past Lives, Russian Doll) will serve as an executive producer on the show and is also eyed to star, according to both Deadline and Variety. Heathcote and Lee will executive produce alongside Kashino and Chelsea McKinnies and Mackenzie Roussos from Entertainment 360
‌
Heathcote was the showrunner and an executive producer of the third season of Killing Eve. She has also written and produced episodes of Fear the Walking Dead and the mini series The Crowded Room, starring Tom Holland and Amanda Seyfriend. To boot, she is also an award-winning playwright and screenwriter based in the UK and US.
Prior to becoming an author, Kashino was a journalist for 17 years, most recently at The Washington Post. She spent the majority of her career at Washingtonian magazine, writing long-form features and overseeing the real estate and home design coverage.
Another dark and hilarious series adaptation to look out for is I'm Glad My Mom Died. Apple Studios recently revealed it will be creating a 10-episode series based on former child star Jennette McCurdy's 'hilarious and heartbreaking' memoir.
‌
According to Apple: 'The dramedy will centre on the co-dependent relationship between an 18-year-old actress in a hit kid's show, and her narcissistic mother who relishes in her identity as 'a starlet's mother'.'
The series will be executive produced by Jennifer Aniston - who will also take on the role of McCurdy's late 'overbearing, domineering' mother. McCurdy is set to write, executive produce and show run the series alongside Ari Katcher (Ramy, Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show).
Other notable producers attached to the project include Sharon Horgan and Stacy Greenberg who executive produce for Merman - the production house behind Bad Sisters. LuckyChap, Jerrod Carmichael and Erica Kay are also named as producers.
