Exclusive: MGM has landed rights to the novel The Husbands from New York Times bestselling author Chandler Baker, with Kristen Wiig attached to star and produce a feature film version along with Plan B Entertainment. Baker will adapt for the screen, marking her feature screenwriting debut.
Baker will serve as an executive producer on the film. The Husbands will publish August 3 by Flatrion.
The Husbands follows an overworked mother who, while house-hunting in a nice suburban neighborhood, meets a group of high-powered women with enviably supportive husbands. When she agrees to take on a legal case involving the untimely death of one resident’s husband, she risks exposing not only the secrets at the heart of her own marriage, but the true secret to having it all, one worth killing for.
Wiig recently starred in Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar which she co-wrote, produced and starred in alongside Annie Mumolo.
