Actress Emma Roberts is set to star in a new TV series that’s based in North Carolina.
Roberts also will be an executive producer of the show, called “Bride Wars.” The series, which is still in the works, draws inspiration from a 2009 movie of the same name.
“Set against the charming backdrop of North Carolina, Bride Wars follows big-city wedding planner (Emma Roberts) whose arrival in a small town sparks an epic showdown with a beloved local planner,” production company New Regency wrote in a Feb. 25 news release. “As the two women battle to plan the same wedding, their rivalry quickly escalates into a larger clash over friendship, community, and, ultimately, love.”
The series is expected to be a “fresh, loose reimagining of the original” movie, a romantic comedy that starred Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson. The new version features Roberts, known for her roles in “American Horror Story” and “We’re the Millers,” according to IMDb.
The show is in the development stage with Peacock, so there’s no timeline for a potential premiere. The streaming service didn’t immediately share more details about the show’s North Carolina ties with The News & Observer.
A publicist for Roberts told The News & Observer the actress wasn’t available for an interview about “Bride Wars.”
