When a charismatic winery owner dies unexpectedly, his wife and two adult daughters must battle through their issues with each other in order to confront challenges with the business, their extended family, and the men in their lives. Good friends and good wine will aid in the journey to hang on to the winery, but what matters most is that they find a way to hang on to each other.
Based on the novel by Lauren Edmondson, Anderson will serve as showrunner on the first season. She will executive produce with Sweet Magnolias star JoAnna Garcia Swisher and Kate Gordon. Rolling Clover and Black Label Media will produce in association with Netflix.
"I'm thrilled to be embarking on this new adventure with JoAnna and Netflix," said Anderson. "When Jo shared the novel with me, I immediately saw the foundation for a series centered on three women grappling with the complexities of family, friendship, and romance - the kind of stories Jo and I most enjoy telling. I cannot wait to share the Richardson women and their world with Netflix's global audience."
"From the moment I read Lauren Edmondson's 'Ladies of the House,' I fell completely in love with Daisy, Cricket, and Wallis: their relationships, their messiness, their strength, and most of all, their heart," added Garcia Swisher. "I am beyond excited to continue to tell meaningful, female-driven stories alongside the incredible Sheryl Anderson, and to bring this to life through our production company, Rolling Clover, and with our wonderful partners at Black Label. Netflix has been my creative home for the past seven years, and I couldn't imagine a better place, or a better team, to tell this story."
