The Seven Sisters Book Series Optioned for TV

LOS ANGELES: Producer Raffaella de Laurentiis has optioned the rights to adapt Lucinda Riley’s The Seven Sisters book series for television.

Laurentiis’ company, Raffaella Productions, will produce the TV adaptation. The Seven Sisters is the first in a seven-book series loosely based on the mythology of the star constellation known as the Pleiades (a.k.a. the Seven Sisters).

“The Seven Sisters story begins on the shores of Lake Geneva where six of the sisters gather in their childhood home after the death of their adoptive father and discover tantalizing clues about their true heritage,” said Riley. “We follow each sister on their journeys across the world to find their roots, but the overarching mystery is that of Pa Salt, the sisters’ adoptive father. Who was he? And where is the seventh sister? Through a story that unfolds in locations around the world, both in the past and present, the book series attains a Game of Thrones level of scale and expansive cast of characters, the emphasis firmly on complex family relationships and the redemptive power of love.”
