Keira Knightley to Star in Series Adaptation of THE OTHER TYPIST at Hulu

Actress Keira Knightley, known for her roles in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, Love Actually, Pride & Prejudice, and The Imitation Game, has signed on to star in the series adaptation of The Other Typist at Hulu. The series is based on the novel by Suzanne Rindell, and Ilene Chaiken (The L Word) is writing the pilot as well as serving as showrunner and producer.

Variety reports that “Knightley was the one who first brought the project to Searchlight’s attention and was previously developing it as a feature.”

Here’s the synopsis:

The series will center around Rose, a prim, unworldly police department typist who gets drawn into the shady world of her glamorous new co-worker Odalie (Knightley). However, when the ultimate crime is committed, it’s uncertain which of the two women was the more treacherous. Set in New York City at the height of the Prohibition era, “The Other Typist” is described as a “psycho-sexual suspense thriller” that turns on themes of identity, class, obsession and misplaced desire.

Well, that’s a story some people will probably like. Are you one of them?
