Scarlett Johansson Leads Prime Video Adaptation From a Beloved Novel

Scarlett Johansson is poised to star in a television series for the first time in her career, leading the main cast in a new adaptation of a widely read novel that has drawn interest from Prime Video. The project is closely tied to Johansson, marking a notable moment as she expands from film into serialized television. The adaptation is described as an Amazon Prime Video project, with Johansson’s involvement shaping its creative direction from the outset. The connection to this particular book goes back to an early screen appearance by Johansson, when she acted as a child in a 1995 film based on the same novel that later became a defining part of her career. This long-standing association helps frame the series as a major opportunity for the star in a new medium. (Deadline)
