No writer has yet been chosen and no network is attached, but Westworld star Shannon Woodward will executive produce with Annapurna’s Megan Ellison, Sue Naegle and Susan Goldberg.
The series will follow the true-life example of women in an empowering secret sisterhood who “find themselves psychologically enthralled and horrifically sexually enslaved to its leader — and their flesh branded with his initials.”
Were that not enough, The Hollywood Reporter confirms Annapurna Television has optioned the rights to the New York Times’ 2017 exposé on NXIVM, hoping to “adapt the investigative report as a one-hour fictionalized scripted series that is inspired by actual events.”
