Siân Heder, whose Coda won the Oscar for best picture in 2022, has signed on to direct Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, Paramount Pictures’ adaptation of the best selling novel by Gabrielle Zevin.
Marty Bowen, Wyck Godfrey and Isaac Klausner will produce via their book-friendly Temple Hill banner.
Described as a modern love story that spans three decades against a video game industry backdrop, the story tells of two friends, Sam and Sadie, who meet as children and reunite as adults, finding stardom in the cutthroat industry.
Per the dust jacket, “Sam and Sadie are brilliant, successful, and rich, but these qualities won’t protect them from their own creative ambitions or the betrayals of their hearts.” The book “examines the multifarious nature of identity, disability, failure, the redemptive possibilities in play, and above all, our need to connect: to be loved and to love.”

Lille, France — Once nearly one-way traffic, the U.S. TV trade balance with Europe is narrowing just slightly, Avril Blondelot, Eurodata TV head of content insight, suggested at Series Mania’s Lille Transatlantic Dialogues.
That may come as little comfort to European film-tv authorities as U.S. global streaming services look set to dominate the global Ott space. But it does represent one development in a now multi-layered North America-Europe TV relationship which sees the two TV powerhouses united as much as divided – in multiple co-productions and most programming trends – and a flow of talent, literary inspiration from Europe into North America.
Led by “The Good Doctor,” “911,” “Instinct” and “S.W.At.”, 430-plus North American scripted series launched in Europe in 2018, according to Eurodata TV Worldwide/NoTa/relevant partners analysis used by Blondelot in her presentation, Europe and North America: What’s New on the Air?

Sweden’s leading actresses – Sofia Helin (“The Bridge”), Alexandra Rapaport (“The Hunt”), Julia Dufvenius (“Molanders”) and Anja Lundqvist (“Modus”) – have joined forces to create and executive produce “Honour,” a contemporary thriller series following four daring lawyers fighting violence against women.
Sweden’s top local Svod service, Viaplay, has ordered the eight-part series, which Eccho Rights is representing in international markets. Stockholm-based company Bigster is producing the show, which is currently being shot and will be delivered next August.
Rapaport, Dufvenius and Lundqvist headline the series, along with Swedish TV host-actress Eva Röse, as four partners in a law firm called Heder (Swedish for “honor”) who have become famous for helping victims of sex crimes and speaking out against patriarchy.
“At a time when prostitution is moving off the streets and on to smartphones, hidden in the pocket of any man with access to the right app, ‘Honour’ is needed more than ever,...
