Gaumont U.S. Plans TV Series Based on Mary Kubica’s New Suspense Novel ‘It’s Not Her’
EXCLUSIVE: Mary Kubica’s latest novel, It’s Not Her, has been optioned by French studio Gaumont, renowned for its work on Narcos and Lupin, for adaptation into a television series.
Released on Tuesday, It’s Not Her is a murder mystery that explores the unraveling of a woman’s serene family getaway at a lakeside cottage that takes a dark turn.
Nicolas Atlan, President of Gaumont U.S., praised the novel, stating, “As soon as we cracked open Mary’s incredibly compelling, tense, and surprising novel, we knew it was something special. It starts with a bang and never lets up. Our team has long admired Mary’s work and we can’t wait to bring this one to life.”
The synopsis of It’s Not Her reads: “Courtney Gray’s tranquil family vacation is shattered when she hears a blood-curdling scream from the lakeside cottage next door. There she finds the lifeless bodies of her brother and sister-in-law. Her teenage niece, Reese, is nowhere to be found, while her nephew, Wyatt, lies asleep upstairs, unharmed. As the police descend on the quiet resort town, disturbing secrets about Courtney’s family start to emerge. As Courtney begins to unravel the terrible mystery, she realizes that everyone around her has something to hide. And the closer she gets to the truth, the harder it is to see.”
Kubica is the bestselling author of ten suspense novels, including The Good Girl, Local Woman Missing, and She’s Not Sorry. Her works have been translated into over thirty languages and have sold more than five million copies worldwide.
The author is represented by Trellis Literary Management, WME, and attorney Scott E. Schwimer.
