Susan Rieger's upcoming novel Like Mother, Like Mother "is getting the TV treatment," Deadline reported. Universal Content Productions has acquired the rights to the book and is adapting it with Sue Naegle and Ali Krug's Dinner Party Productions. The novel will be published by the Dial Press on October 29.
Naegle and Krug will exec produce the project, which "comes after they struck an overall deal with UCP earlier this year and put a series adaptation of Elin Hilderbrand's novel The Five-Star Weekend into development with Peacock."
Rieger said, "When I met Sue Naegle, Ali Krug, Jordan Moblo and the UCP team, I knew almost immediately that they were exactly the right people to adapt Like Mother, Like Mother. I feel so lucky to be in their hands."
