Fox has given a script commitment plus penalty to Adam & Eva, a modern-day Adam and Eve drama based on the praised Dutch series, from Tony-winning playwright Steven Levenson (Masters of Sex), producer Marc Platt (La La Land), Scripted World and 20th Century Fox TV.
Written by Levenson, Adam & Eva follows Adam and Eva, two unique souls in New York City drawn together by fate. Both struggle with feelings of isolation heightened by living in a city with 8.5 million people.
The original Dutch series A’dam – E.V.A.(which also stands for “Amsterdam and many others”), from writer Robert Alberdingk Thijm and director Norbert ter Hall, ran for three seasons beginning in 2011. Described as 500 Days of Summer meets Tales of the City, A’dam – E.V.A. centers on Adam, a bright-eyed newcomer to Amsterdam, who leads a lonely life burying the forgotten dead for the city, but when he moves next door to the beautiful, cynical Eva, he realizes he’s met the love of his life.
