Who? Marti Noxon (creator); Julianna Margulies.

What? An adaptation of Sarai Walker’s novel, which sees a woman awaiting weight-loss surgery get abducted by an underground feminist cabal, while a rival group start carrying out violent acts.

Why? It marks Marguiles' first leading role since The Good Wife ended, which means a return for one of the decade's best TV stars. Noxon is a proven talent too, having done great work as a writer on Buffy before going on to create the acclaimed UnREAL. The novel was greatly received, with comparisons to Fight Club, and should make for a riveting and timely series exploring both standards of beauty and feminism.

When & Where? TBC, AMC.
