Anisha must then use her sleuthing skills to discover what happened to the groom and get him to the wedding on time.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Anisha Accidental Detective<\/em> book series was written by Serena Patel and illustrated by Emma McCann. The adaptation is being developed by BBC Studios Kids &amp; Family in a deal optioned by Emily Hayward-Whitlock at The Artist Partnership and Kate Shaw at The Shaw Agency, with up-and-coming screenwriter and children\u2019s novelist Nikesh Shukla (<em>Two Dosas<\/em>,<em> The Council of Good Friends<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBBC Studios Kids &amp; Family have pulled together an amazing team to bring these utterly delightful books to life,\u201d Panjabi said. \u201cWith a British Indian family at the heart, it\u2019s a wonderful celebration of British-Indian culture. Anisha was the character I yearned to see on screen when I was a 10-year-old. The series is a refreshing comedy-mystery about friendship, family and growing up, packed with vibrant characters. It\u2019s delightfully intriguing and will keep the whole family craving for more\u2014just like Anisha\u2019s granny\u2019s parathas!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was thrilled when I heard that Archie Panjabi was coming on board as executive producer for the series,\u201d said author Patel. \u201cI have huge admiration for her career as an actor, and for her to be involved in bringing my books to the screen feels like a dream come true.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Edward Barnieh, BBC Studios Kids &amp; Family\u2019s VP of development, added, \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to be working with industry leaders like Archie Panjabi, alongside exciting new talent like Serena and Nikesh, to bring <em>Anisha Accidental Detective<\/em> to a global audience. The series will feature fresh, diverse characters and will be bursting with clues, suspects and hilarious mishaps and, with a ticking clock counting down to a big family wedding, it\u2019s sure to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emmy Award-winning actor Archie Panjabi (The Good Wife, Blindspot) has joined the BBC Studios Kids &#038;
