TV: Maisie Dobbs Series

Hillary Rodham Clinton and Chelsea Clinton's HiddenLight Productions "has its eyes on a new scripted project" based on Jacqueline Winspear's Maisie Dobbs series of novels, according to the Hollywood Reporter, which noted that HiddenLight has acquired the film and TV rights to the series of 16 books as its "inaugural fiction option."

Speaking recently at the Royal Television Society’s Cambridge Convention via video link, Hillary Clinton said: "One of our favorite books that Chelsea and I have shared over many years is a book about a character called Maisie Dobbs, which is a series about a World War I field nurse who turns into a detective, and we just optioned it. It's an international bestseller by Jacqueline Winspear, and we love the character. It goes from World War I to the Spanish Civil War to World War II. She comes of age in a time of great social upheaval."
