Writer-producer Francesca Sloane has signed an overall deal with Amazon Studios and set her first project, a series based on the works of Anaïs Nin. Under the pact, Sloane will create content to premiere exclusively on Amazon Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
As part of Sloane’s deal, Amazon Studios is developing A Spy in the House of Love, a half-hour series based on the groundbreaking works of erotica’s founding mother Nin, from Legendary Television. Sloane will serve as writer and executive producer.
The contemporary series, a frank countermeasure to the male gaze, follows Sabina – young, French and newly transplanted in New York – on a provocative journey to self-discovery. Sabina secretly juggles vastly disparate lovers while unveiling her multifaceted (and at times contradicting) nature.
Amy Lippman and Brandon Milbradt also serve as executive producers.

Director Darren Aronofsky is moving from mastering the scale of a great Biblical flood in his 2014 drama Noah to taking on The Year of the Flood. The Black Swan director has been tapped to possibly helm a drama series on HBO, based on an acclaimed trilogy of dystopian “speculative” sci-fi novels from author Margaret Atwood. Aronofsky is already signed on to executive produce MaddAddam through his Protozoa Pictures banner, and he definitely has the credentials to direct as well.
The trilogy of novels include Atwood’s Oryx and Crake (2003), The Year of the Flood (2009) and MaddAddam (2013). The series takes place during the mid-21st century, where corporate villains reign, governments have fallen, and society has embraced genetic modifications. Much of the story occurs after a Waterless Flood (i.e. a man-made plague) has wiped out most of civilization. The characters focused on in Atwood’s novels consist of some of...

Darren Aronofsky has signed on to produce an HBO drama series adapted from Margaret Atwood’s MaddAddam book trilogy, and could also wind up directing the project.
Darren Aronofsky Producing 'MaddAddam' Series
Aronofsky has a three-year first-look deal with HBO, which was made in January of this year. Through his Protozoa Pictures company, the director is looking to bring Atwood’s Orya and Crake (2003), Year of the Flood (2009) and MaddAddam (2013) to the small screen, reported Deadline.
Aronofsky became interested in the idea of adapting Atwood’s “speculative fiction” novels after it was brought to him by his fiancé, producer Brandi-Ann Milbradt. Milbradt will serve as co-executive producer alongside Aronofsky, who’s recruited his longtime collaborator Ari Handel to the project as well.
Atwood’s trilogy takes place in the mid-21st century in the time before and after the Waterless Flood, which causes the world’s population to shrink dramatically.

Exclusive: HBO has put in development drama series MaddAddam, executive produced by Oscar-nominated Black Swan helmer Darren Aronofsky through his Protozoa Pictures banner. The project, based on Margaret Atwood’s book trilogy Oryx and Crake (2003), Year Of The Flood (2009), and MaddAddam (2013), is being developed as a potential directing vehicle for Aronofsky. MaddAddam marks the first project to come out of the three-year first-look deal the filmmaker and his Protozoa Pictures inked with HBO in January. The story in the MaddAddam books, part of Atwood’s self-described genre of “speculative fiction,” is set in the mid-21st century in a world where corporations have taken over for governments and the genetic modification of organisms is perversely ubiquitous. It centers on the events before and after a Waterless Flood that wipes out almost all of the world’s population and follows an extensive cast of characters, including those responsible for the apocalypse...
