According to Deadline, Tawnya Bhattacharya and Ali Laventhol are developing a new project at Hulu—a television adaptation of Trish Lundy’s YA thriller titled The One That Got Away With Murder. Lundy’s novel was published two years ago under the Square Fish imprint, earning strong reviews from Kirkus, Booklist, and other outlets, and was named a Barnes & Noble Best YA of 2024.
Bhattacharya and Laventhol will executive produce alongside Sidonie Dumas, Nicolas Atlan, and Alexandra Zimbler Smith for Gaumont—the studio behind Narcos and Lupin.
Here is an exclusive, Novelpro Junkie statement from Tawnya Bhattacharya on adapting Trish Lundy's thrilling novel:
"Adapting THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY WITH MURDER as a TV show was a no brainer for my writing partner, Ali Laventhol and myself. In reading Trish Lundy’s book, we saw it had all the elements we were looking for starting with the concept. I mean, A high school girl who realizes the boy she’s fallen for is rumored to have murdered his girlfriend, so she sets out to prove (hopefully) that he didn’t do it… How fun is that? Trish’s book is a great ride. Propulsive and thrilling with imperfect characters harboring secrets, twists, turns, a dangerous, sexy romance at the center of it. How is that not a show!"
Here is the book synopsis of "The One That Got Away With Murder" by Trish Lundy:
“A razor-sharp thriller you’ll race through in one sitting.” —Jessie Weaver, author of Live Your Best Lie
Be careful who you fall for…
Robbie and Trevor Cresmont are as dangerous as they are privileged. Wealthy, handsome, and seemingly untouchable, the brothers have long been shadowed by suspicion in Happy Valley, where many believe they’re responsible for the deaths of their ex-girlfriends. First came soccer star Victoria Moreno, Robbie’s ex, who drowned under mysterious circumstances at the family lake house. A year later, Trevor’s girlfriend died from what appeared to be a suspicious overdose.
But the Cresmonts aren’t the only ones hiding something. New student Lauren O’Brian arrives with a troubled past of her own, determined to start over. That plan begins to unravel when she enters a casual relationship with Robbie. What’s supposed to be their final weekend together takes a dark turn when Lauren uncovers disturbing evidence that could tie him to the crimes.
As tension builds and another death shakes the town, Lauren finds herself running out of time—and trust. Now she must decide whether to walk away from Robbie or risk becoming his next victim.
