The Planet of the Apes star’s manufacturing firm Imaginarium Productions has gained the rights to adapt Cleo Watson’s Whips following a hotly-contested public sale.
Watson served as former Prime Minister Johnson’s Deputy Chief of Staff on the top of the pandemic and she or he has set her debut novel within the corridors of the British institution.
Described as House of Cards meets 50 Shades of Grey, Whips follows three feminine pals as they navigate the crises and controversies of the British authorities.

Watson stated adapting Whips for TV was her “wildest dreams” coming true. Imaginarium’s co-founder Jonathan Cavendish (Bridget Jones’s Diary) stated the story was about feminine energy, that includes three “bright, flawed, loyal and loveable” central characters.
The rights deal was carried out by Rosie Gurtovoy at PFD. Imaginarium and Watson are within the early phases of improvement and are assembling a staff of writers.
