Scarlett Johansson Producing THE NANNY DIARIES Series That Is In the Works at Netflix
A new series based on the #1 New York Times bestseller The Nanny Diaries by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus is in the works at Netflix.
Scarlett Johansson, who starred in the 2007 feature adaptation of the novel, is executive producing the project, from Greg Berlanti‘s Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television where the company is under an overall deal.
Written and executive produced by Amy Chozick (The Girls on the Bus) and Jenny Bicks (Sex and the City) who will serve as showrunners, The Nanny Diaries centers on Annie, a broke, aspiring writer in search of a story who takes a nanny job for a magnetic Upper East Side socialite, plunging into an elite world of unimaginable excess.
When she lands the book deal of her dreams to go undercover and expose the salacious lives of the ultra-rich, Annie must try to keep up this double life even as she grows attached to the people and this world… and finds out what her elusive boss is actually capable of.
The Nanny Diaries joins Netflix’s book-to-screen development slate that includes Black Hole, The Corrections, Lights Out and So Far Gone. The streamer’s adaptations have yielded several titles on the Most Popular English series and film lists: His & Hers, Bridgerton, The Queen’s Gambit and Leave the World Behind.
