Hulu has landed for development The Other Typist, a TV series adaptation of the novel by Suzanne Rindell headlined and executive produced by Keira Knightley. Written and executive produced by Ilene Chaiken (The L Word, Empire), the project, which I hear has a big commitment, comes from Searchlight Television and 20th Century Fox Television.
Set in New York City at the height of the Prohibition era, The Other Typist is a psycho-sexual suspense thriller that turns on themes of identity, class, obsession and misplaced (or misunderstood) desire. In it, Rose, a prim, unworldly police department typist gets drawn into the shady world of her glamorous new co-worker, Odalie (Knightley) but when the ultimate crime is committed, it’s uncertain which of the two women was the more treacherous.
