Hit film and book
The Devil Wears Prada is being turned into
a half-hour sitcom for Fox, reports Variety.
The movie version
of Prada, which starred Meryl Streep as a cruel
fashion-magazine editor and Anne Hathaway as her eager
assistant, was based on Lauren Weisberger's novel. Now Robin
Schiff, known for her work on the film comedy Romy
and Michelle's High School Reunion, will write and
executive-produce a television version, produced by
Fox TV Studios for its eponymous network.
With the current
crop of TV hits involving the fashion world—including
Ugly Betty, Project Runway, and America's Next
Top Model—the show seemed like a
no-brainer, Fox TV Studios president Angela Shapiro-Mathes
told Variety. "It's a little bit about the
zeitgeist, but when is fashion not in the zeitgeist," she
said. "Fashion is an aspirational, glamorous world
that's always fun to look in on." (The
