Liz Tigelaar is bringing another best-selling book to the screen. The “Little Fires Everywhere” creator, showrunner, and exec producer is set to pen a film adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” for Netflix, per The Hollywood Reporter.

Released in 2017, “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” tells the story of a Evelyn Hugo, a “reclusive, iconic Hollywood starlet” who “enlists unknown reporter Monique Grant to write her tell-all book, which will chronicle her life story and rise to fame during the golden age of Hollywood. Always the subject of tabloids, Evelyn also details for the first time her seven marriages, revealing secrets she’s held on to, who she is behind the scenes and why she chose Monique for her final confession,” the source teases.
