‘The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo’ Netflix Update: “Every High-Profile Director in Town” Beaten by ‘Bachelorette’ Director

Novels are perhaps one of the greatest sources to find material for TV shows and
no one knows this better than Netflix. From the steamy romance of Bridgerton to
the fantasy of The Magicians, the streamer has often got some of its top stories
from novels. Not long ago, Netflix also announced the live-action adaptation of
the novel Seven Husbands Of Evelyn Hugo. Owing to its popularity, fans are
highly excited about the upcoming project.

And there seems to be an exciting update for the fans.


NETFLIX’S THE SEVEN HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO ADAPTATION FOUND ITS DIRECTOR

Written by Taylor Jenkins Reid, Seven Husbands Of Evelyn Hugo is an incredibly
popular novel. The romance novel was the New York Times Best Seller for nearly
120 weeks. As Netflix prepares to bring this legendary story to life,
undoubtedly, they have a huge responsibility of doing justice to it. And it
seems like the streamer has picked their frontrunner for the film.

According to reports by Deadline, Leslye Headland will be taking over as the
director of the hugely anticipated project. As surprising as it sounds, Netflix
chose Headland amongst every “high-profile director in town” who were chasing
the project for months. The news was later shared by Twitter page, Film Updates.

The reports further suggest that Liz Tigelaar will pen down the script.
Assisting them on the production would be 3Dot Productions executive Liza Chasin
and Brad Mendelsohn for Circle of Confusion. Interestingly, the author of the
novel Taylor Jenkins Reid will serve as the executive producer
alongside Margaret Chernin. As of late, there are no updates on when the
production and casting for the project will commence.

As for Headland, landing such a huge project is a massive achievement. The
director has had an incredible year so far with her work. Not long ago, her
project Star Wars series The Acolyte gathered immense praise and won several
accolades at the Star Wars festival.
