EXCLUSIVE: Elin Hilderbrand’s best-selling novel The Hotel Nantucket is in development at Warner Bros. TV with Sue Kroll set to executive produce, Deadline has learned.
Warner Bros. TV declined to comment.
The series follows Nantucket sweetheart, Lizbet Keaton who is desperately seeking a second act fresh off a bad breakup with a longtime boyfriend. When she’s named the new general manager of the Hotel Nantucket, a once Gilded Age gem turned abandoned eyesore, she hopes that her local expertise and charismatic staff can win the favor of their new London billionaire owner, Xavier Darling, as well as that of Shelly Carpenter, the wildly popular Instagram tastemaker who can help put them back on the map.
