Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke announced at the Vanity Fair New Establishment Summit that Blake Lively (Gossip Girl, The Age of Adaline, A Simple Favor) is developing a scripted series for the streaming network that has a fashion theme, no other details were revealed per The Hollywood Reporter.
It is unclear if Blake herself will have an acting role in the project. When more news is revealed, I will update.
“Blake also has a huge appetite for a big scripted show with a really interesting writer who I can’t talk about yet that she’s targeted who will bring to life a scripted show that will be excellent and culturally relevant and original and all those things, but it will also have a connection to a merchandising opportunity,” Salke said.
Salke did not say whether Lively would star in the series or involve herself only as a producer.
