Billings Productions is Adapting Sandie Jones’ Popular Thriller ‘The Other Woman’ into a New Series
Billings Productions Options Sandie Jones’ Bestselling Thriller for Series Development
Independent production company Billings Productions, recognized for its work on the Prime Video series Off Campus, has secured the rights to adapt Sandie Jones’ acclaimed psychological thriller, The Other Woman, for television. Published in 2018, the novel has gained significant acclaim, becoming a New York Times bestseller and a selection for Reese’s Book Club, as well as featuring on various best-of lists from outlets like Good Morning America and BuzzFeed.
Currently, the company is in the process of finding a writer for the adaptation. Leanna Billings and Ceylin Kocagöz will serve as executive producers, alongside Noelia Murphy-Devaney, Neal Flaherty, and author Sandie Jones as producers.
The Other Woman follows the story of Emily, an aspiring bride who believes she has found her perfect match in Adam. However, her ideal life begins to unravel after she meets Adam’s mother, Pammie. While Pammie initially presents herself as supportive and charming, her true intentions toward Emily become increasingly manipulative, leading to a complex and dangerous dynamic.
“This novel is an absolute favorite of ours, and to have the opportunity to bring it to screen is surreal,” remarked Billings and Kocagöz. “At face value, the story appears to be a classic retelling of mother-in-law versus daughter-in-law, but Sandie’s razor-sharp plotting, psychological precision, and jaw-dropping twists keep the reader devouring the book from start to finish. The emotional complexity and shifting perspective create an incredible canvas for adaptation.”
Sandie Jones, who has penned eight psychological thrillers, including The First Mistake and The Guilt Trip, expressed her enthusiasm for the project: “I’m so excited for Billings’ passion for bringing The Other Woman to the screen. Leanna has long been a fan of the book, and we share the same vision for its adaptation. I cannot wait to see Pammie in all her glory!”
Jones is represented by Curtis Brown and UTA, while Billings Productions is represented by Dinah Perez, Esq.
