Liz&#8217;s boss forces her to alert the authorities and an investigation is launched. As Jess&#8217;s life spirals out of control, the two women&#8217;s friendship group begins to fracture as medical and criminal hell breaks loose.<\/p>\n<p>Roughcut is currently interviewing screenwriters for the adaptation.<\/p>\n<p>Marianna Abbotts, Roughcut&#8217;s drama development producer, said, \u201cWe are delighted to be working with Sarah Vaughan and were completely gripped by this thought-provoking and moving novel. Sarah&#8217;s meticulously researched story bravely explores the dark reaches and intense love of motherhood through a taut, compelling psychological thriller. The female friendships at the heart of the book and the way mothers judge each other make this a hugely universal and relatable subject and we are thrilled to have the chance to bring Sarah\u2019s characters to the screen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vaughan added, \u201cI was blown away by Roughcut\u2019s pitch: their nuanced discussion of the universality of <em>Little Disasters<\/em>, their commitment to being brave and true to the darkness of the story, and their vision for how the characters might grow. Seeing the characters of one novel, <em>Anatomy of a Scandal<\/em>, develop in a TV series has been incredible. I\u2019m so excited that those at the heart of <em>Little Disasters<\/em> might get the same opportunity and I can\u2019t wait to be involved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alex Smith, head of scripted, added, \u201cRoughcut are thrilled to add such a prestigious author as Sarah Vaughan to our drama slate and this marks the beginning of our ambitious push into high-end drama working with the best writing talent.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roughcut TV (People Just Do Nothing, Stath Lets Flats) has secured the rights to adapt Sarah Vaughan\u2019s fourth novel, Little Disasters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":14497,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[4331],"class_list":["post-14496","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-roughcut-tv","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
