Production
In March 2024, it was announced that MGM+ had greenlit an adaptation of Stewart's novel as a six-episode limited series, with Ludwig cast as Ish. In April that same year, it was announced that Dukes had been cast as the female lead. In June that same year, it was announced that several other actors, including Aaron Tveit, had been cast in the series.
Reception
Alex Maidy of JoBlo.com gave the series a mixed review and wrote that it “has an important message that is worth hearing, but this series squanders its potential.”
