According to Deadline, ABC has given a script commitment
with penalty to Waiting to Exhale.
Waiting to Exhale is based on the 1992 book written by Terry McMillian
and the 1995 movie starring Angela Bassett, Whitney Houston, Loretta Devine,
and Lela Rochon. The book and movie were
about four women living in Phoenix navigating their complex relationships with
the men in their lives as well as with one another.
The TV series is being helmed by Lee Daniels of Empire
fame and written by Attica Locke (When They See Us) and Tembi Locke (Never Have
I Ever) with Terry McMillian as a consulting producer.
Waiting to Exhale the TV series is being described as a
reimagining look at the next generation of our women through the lens of the
tangled friendships and complicated lives of their daughters.
I personally really enjoyed both the book and movie so I
am curious as to how a TV series will turn out.
If this does become a TV series I will definitely check it out.
