Plot and character details are under wraps. Ol Parker (Ticket to Paradise) will direct, with Aaron Ryder and Andrew Swett to produce for Ryder Picture Company along with Goldstein; Kelly; and the trio of Lopez, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas and Benny Medina for Nuyorican Films. Courtney Baxter is exec producing for Nuyorican, which has a multiyear first-look deal with Netflix spanning features, TV series and unscripted content.

We were first to tell you about Netflix’s acquisition of the package in a heated bidding war last fall.

Gilpin is no stranger to Netflix, having earned three Emmy nominations for her work on the streamer’s series GLOW. Currently, she can be seen starring in Netflix’s American Primeval, which premiered in the Top 10, and she’s also on board to star opposite Michael Shannon and Matthew Macfadyen in the service’s Death by Lightning, a limited series executive produced by Game of Thrones‘ David Benioff and D.B. Weiss.

Recently making her Broadway debut as Mary Todd Lincoln in the Broadway smash Oh, Mary!, Gilpin will remain with the show through March 16. She is represented by CAA, Anonymous Content, and Hansen, Jacobson, Teller.
