Prime Video has today given a series order to the original drama series Things We Never Got Over based on the novel by Lucy Score. An episode count and premiere date window were not immediately announced.
Runaway bride Naomi Witt heads from the altar straight into trouble when her estranged twin sister, Tina, calls her to small-town Virginia, steals her car, phone, and purse and leaves Naomi stranded in an unfamiliar town with a teenage niece in her care and a grouchy but very sexy local who turns out to be her knight in tattooed armor.
Eric Charmelo and Nicole Snyder developed the drama and will serve as co-showrunners on the first season. They will executive produce with Score and Gina Girolamo. Amazon MGM Studios and Strega Stories will produce.
"Things We Never Got Over has everything we love in great television: an irresistible enemies-to-lovers romance, quirk, comedy, and a community you never want to leave," said Charmelo and Snyder. "Lucy Score built a wildly passionate fanbase around these characters, and we're excited to introduce the world of Knockemout to Prime Video audiences everywhere."
"I feel so lucky that this career has put me in the company of so many brilliant, generous storytellers," shared Score. "I'm thrilled that Gina, Eric, and Nicole, as well as the incredibly talented writers, are bringing Things We Never Got Over to life. Readers can rest assured that the characters we all love so deeply on the page are in the best possible hands to be brought to life on screen."
"Lucy Score has created the kind of romantic, emotional, and deeply addictive world that readers never want to leave," added Peter Friedlander, Global Head of Television, Amazon MGM Studios. "Things We Never Got Over has everything audiences love about a great small-town romance - heart, humor, found family, undeniable chemistry, and characters you root for from the very first page. We're thrilled to work with Lucy, Nicole, Eric, and Gina to bring Naomi's story, and the beloved world of Knockemout, to Prime."
