Tracy Oliver Developing ‘Savanah’ Thriller Series For Amazon, Based On Sarah Pinborough’s Book ‘Dead to Her’

Deadline is reporting that Amazon Studios is teaming with Topic Studios and PKM Productions to develop the series Savannah from Tracy Oliver (Girls Trip, BET’s First Wives Club) and Joey Falco (The CW’s Charmed).

Adapted from New York Times best-selling author Sarah Pinborough’s book Dead to Her, Savannah is a thriller that follows two outsider women, one Black and one white, who marry into a moneyed and closed Southern society and the twisted choices they make to protect their secrets and survive a judgmental world that wants to tear them down. Oliver and Falco are co-writing the new drama series that Patrick Moran and his PKM Productions and Topic Studios, the entertainment studio from First Look Media, are producing. Topic Studios landed the rights to Pinborough’s book to be developed as part of Oliver’s previously announced first-look deal with Topic Studios.

EVP Maria Zuckerman and SVP of Original Series Quan Phung are executive producing for Topic Studios along with Joy Ganes from Oliver’s production company, Tracy Yvonne Productions, and Patrick Moran of PKM Productions. Patrick Moran and PKM Productions also have an overall deal with Amazon.
