Tomorrow Studios to Adapt I Love You but I’ve Chosen Darkness

Tomorrow Studios is planning to adapt the novel I Love You but I’ve Chosen Darkness, written by Claire Vaye Watkins, for television.

The project will see Tomorrow Studios (Physical, Snowpiercer) reteam with Emmy Award-winning director Stephanie Laing (Physical, Made for Love, Family Squares), in addition to working with screenwriter and author Alissa Nutting (Made for Love, Teenage Euthanasia).

I Love You but I’ve Chosen Darkness deals with a woman’s furious revisiting of family, marriage, work, sex and motherhood. It tells a story about a woman who abandons her husband and new baby during a bout of postpartum depression.

Tomorrow Studios’ CEO and partner, Marty Adelstein, and president and partner, Becky Clements, said: “We love working with Stephanie on Physical because of her incredible talent for showcasing complex stories of female empowerment in a way that resonates with a global audience. We’re excited to work with her and prolific writer Alissa to bring Claire’s powerful work to television, and we are proud to have a strong team of women spearheading this incredible project.”
