Starz has ordered to series Sweetbitter, a half-hour drama based on the Stephanie Danler novel of the same name, TVLine has learned.
Danler is on board to write the first episode, and will serve as an executive producer alongside Stu Zicherman (The Americans).
For those unfamiliar with the source material, Sweetbitter is the coming-of-age story of Tess, a 22-year-old who arrives in New York City and begins working at a “celebrated downtown restaurant.”
“This has already been a thrilling ride, and I can’t wait for everyone to see how we expanded the world and characters beyond the book,” Danler said.
