DESCRIPTION:
(from BBC America's press release, May 2017) BBC AMERICA announced today it will partner with Elisabeth Moss and Annapurna Television on developing the period drama Fever. Based on Mary Beth Keane's novel of the same name, the limited series is set to star award-winning actress Elisabeth Moss (Handmaid's Tale, Top of the Lake). Moss, who additionally holds the rights to the novel, will also serve as an Executive Producer on the project. Fever tells the story of the first known healthy carrier of typhoid fever who became known as "Typhoid Mary" as she spread typhoid across the burgeoning metropolis of early twentieth century New York. Moss acquired the original rights to Keane's book and first sent the material Phil Morrison (Enlightened, Junebug), who signed on to project as director and Executive Produce. Robin Veith (The Expanse, True Blood) is currently set to write the adaptation and will also serve as an Executive Producer alongside Moss, Morrison, and Annapurna's Sue Naegle and Megan Ellison. |
