FX has greenlit 'The Marriage Plot,' a limited series adaptation of Jeffrey Eugenides' 2011 novel. Sadie Sink ('Stranger Things') will star in the project, which is written by Will Arbery and directed by Hiro Murai. The series will stream on Hulu. A24 is producing.
FX just greenlit The Marriage Plot — a limited series based on Jeffrey Eugenides' 2011 novel. Sadie Sink is starring, Will Arbery is writing, Hiro Murai is directing, and it's landing on Hulu. A24 is behind it.
Fills a coverage gap in the underrepresented film_tv category (12 stories, at 12%) with specific, checkable industry casting/greenlit claims backed by a strong primary source (Variety); the Hiro Murai/Sadie Sink/A24 prestige combo is a clear cultural relevance hook for internet-culture readers.
The pairing of Sadie Sink with Hiro Murai — the director behind much of Donald Glover's 'Atlanta' and 'This Is America' — signals FX's prestige ambitions for the project. Will Arbery, known for his Pulitzer-nominated play 'Heroes of the Fourth Turning,' brings serious literary credentials to the adaptation. For Sink, it's a major post-'Stranger Things' move into adult dramatic territory under the A24 banner.
Hiro Murai directing a Sadie Sink literary adaptation for A24 at FX is the kind of prestige combo that doesn't happen by accident. Will Arbery's playwriting background and Eugenides' source material point to something closer to 'Normal People' than another streaming drama. This is Sink's big post-Stranger Things swing.
