According to Deadline, MGM and Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment are currently in the process of developing a film adaptation of The Husbands, based on New York Times bestselling author Chandler Baker’s upcoming thriller novel of the same name.
The adaptation of The Husbands will also be produced by Wiig, with Bake also serving as an executive producer.
The Husbands centers around an overworked mother who, while house-hunting in a nice suburban neighborhood, meets a group of high-powered women with enviably supportive husbands.
Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Kristen Wiig (Bridesmaids) has officially signed on for the leading role, with Baker set to pen the screenplay.
