Made Up Stories teams with Asher Keddie for THE SOULMATE – Bruna Papandrea’s award-winning global film and TV production company Made Up Stories (Nine Perfect Strangers, Strife) announced today at Australians in Films’ Future Vision summit that it has teamed with multi-award-winning creator and producer Imogen Banks (Offspring, Fake) and critically acclaimed actor and producer Asher Keddie (Strife, Offspring, Fake) on a television adaptation of New York Times bestselling author Sally Hepworth’s novel THE SOULMATE.
Papandrea, Steve Hutensky and Katie Amos will executive produce for Made Up Stories alongside Banks for Kindling Pictures, Keddie, Hepworth, Rob Weisbach and Fiona Seres (Tangle, The Great). Seres also serves as writer and showrunner.
THE SOULMATE is a gripping, addictive mystery about marriage, betrayal and the lengths a person will go to for their soulmate. The novel was an instant New York Times bestseller upon publication and a Book of the Month selection, with The New York Times naming it one of the best thrillers of the year.
In THE SOULMATE, Pippa and Gabe have the kind of marriage that everyone envies, as well as two sweet young daughters, a supportive family, and a picturesque cliff-side home – which would have been idyllic had the tall beachside cliffs not become so popular among those wishing to end their lives. Gabe has become somewhat of a local hero since they moved to the cliff house, talking seven people down from stepping off the edge. But when Gabe fails to save the eighth, a mysterious woman named Amanda, a sordid web of secrets begins to unravel, pushing bonds of loyalty and love to the brink.
Made Up Stories said,
“What a privilege to partner again with the incomparable Sally Hepworth for THE SOULMATE, which for us combines an intoxicating conceit with undeniable characters in Pippa, Gabe and Amanda. Alongside friends and frequent collaborators Asher Keddie, Imogen Banks and Rob Weisbach, we are absolutely thrilled to develop this captivating adaptation of THE SOULMATE with the wildly talented Fiona Seres, and cannot wait to bring this enthralling interrogation of love’s complexities to audiences.”
Sally Hepworth said,
“There’s a kind of magic in finding creative partners who are as passionate about your story as you are. That’s what I’ve found with Bruna, Steve, Katie and the team at Made Up Stories. I’m so excited to be collaborating with them, and with Imogen, Asher, Rob and Fiona, to adapt THE SOULMATE — a novel that strives to dig deep into the layered, complicated truths about marriage, loyalty, and the secrets we keep from the people we love most.”
This is the second collaboration between Hepworth and Made Up Stories, who announced last year the option of Hepworth’s instant bestseller Darling Girls. Hepworth is repped by CAA and Rob Weisbach Creative Management.
