BBC Studios property “Doctor Foster” is being adapted by Screenplay Films for Disney Plus Hotstar in Indonesia. “Doctor Foster” is the story of a doctor whose life implodes when she uncovers her husband’s infidelity. The show title in Indonesia will be “Mendua” and Pritagita Arianegara will direct.
Production on the 8 x 45’ Indonesian adaptation is underway with Wicky V. Olindo producing, Anthony Buncio as executive producer/showrunner and Thaleb Wahjudi as co-producer. The local adaptation has been developed by Keke Mayang, Sinar Ayu Massie, and Dono Indarto. The series will stream on Disney Plus Hotstar later this year.
Meanwhile, “Eve Stranger,” the graphic novel series created by writer David Barnett and illustrated by Philip Bond, has been optioned by BBC Studios for television series development. “Eve Stranger” is the story of the amnesiac Eve, who has unlimited funds, a jet-set lifestyle, and extraordinary abilities, as well as a growing suspicion that she’s working for the bad guys. Released as a miniseries in 2019, it was one of the titles under graphic novel editor Shelly Bond’s Black Crown imprint.
“’Dragonero’ is just the beginning,” noted Bonelli chief Vincenzo Sarno in a statement, adding: “There is so much more to come in this fantasy universe.”
