The 2016 financial thriller feature Equity is headed to the small screen as a drama series, which has landed at ABC with a script commitment plus penalty. The adaptation hails from The Strain executive producer Regina Corrado and film and TV producer Amy Pascal. Sony TV’s TriStar Television is the studio.
Written by Corrado, Equity is set in the cutthroat world of investment banking. It centers on Naomi Bishop — played in the movie by Anna Gunn — a Wall Street banker who is navigating a world where big money and high-power reign, and women have yet to break the glass ceiling. With an aggressive prosecutor on her heels, and a strained relationship with an ambitious junior executive, Naomi is forced to reexamine the male dominated world in which she lives.
Corrado executive produces with Pascal Pictures’ Amy Pascal and Rachel O’Connor and the movie’s producers Alysia Reiner and Sarah Megan Thomas.
Equity stood out when it premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. Written, directed and produced by an all-female team, Equity featured main players who were all women while being set in a world heavily dominated by men, Wall Street. The auspices behind the TV series adaptation also are all female.
