See-Saw Films are adapting C.K. Skuse’s Sweet Pea, dubbed American Psycho meets Fleabag. Deadline exclusively share.
The series, which will be shown on Sky Atlantic, will be written by Kirsty Swain.
The book, which was published in 2017, chronicles a year in the life of an ambitious but bored young woman living and working in a small British town. By day her job as an editorial assistant is demeaning and unsatisfying, but outside of work she turns to altogether darker, grislier pursuits. Because the girl everyone overlooks might just be able to get away with murder.
Producing are hoping the series will be 8 part.
