Margot Robbie’s LuckyChap To Produce The Series Adaptation Of Margaret Atwood’s ‘The Edible Woman’

There is finally some movement on the long-awaited series adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s The Edible Woman. It was announced in 2019 that eOne acquired the television rights to the book, with Francine Zuckerman of Z Films and Karen Shaw of Quarterlife Crisis Productions producing it. There haven’t been any updates on the fate of the series — until now.

Margot Robbie’s production company LuckyChap will now produce the series alongside eOne, Z Films and Shinawil. Eve Hedderwick Turner (Anne Boleyn) and Charlotte Wolf (The Last Kingdom) are brought on board to write the series.

The logline for the series reads:

Set across present-day London and 1960s Toronto, The Edible Woman is a psychological drama following the journey of two women to find themselves: a journey that uncovers fiercely guarded family secrets and ultimately leads them to each other.

The Edible Woman is Margaret Atwood’s first published novel. It follows Marian, a young woman whose orderly, consumer-driven life begins to unravel. After becoming engaged, she starts to feel dissociated from her body. Soon, she begins projecting human qualities onto food, identifying with it so strongly that she becomes unable to eat.
