Netflix has announced they are adapting Kristin Hannah’s Firefly Lane into a 10-episode series, and they’ve recruited Katherine Heigl (Suits, Grey’s Anatomy) for the starring role.
Heigl is acting as executive producer, alongside showrunner and writer Maggie Friedman (Witches of East End).

Firefly Lane will be Kristin Hannah’s third novel to be adapted to the screen, after The Nightingale and The Great Alone. Firefly Lane follows the life of Tully Hurt, and the decade-spanning relationship with her childhood friend Kate. We don’t yet know who will be playing Kate, but it’s safe to say this one will probably be a tearjerker.
