Publisher 831 Stories has signed a first-look deal with Hulu for the streamer to develop series based on its books, The Hollywood Reporter can exclusively announce.

The first project under the deal is a TV adaptation of Alexandra Romanoff’s Big Fan book series from 831 Stories, anchored by the imprint’s top-selling title, Big Fan. The story follows a political strategist “tainted by a scandalous ex” who “finds an unexpected career detour when her teenage boy band crush offers a second chance at the spotlight…and maybe something more.” Disney’s 20th Television will produce.

Michelle Nader (Shifting Gears, Hulu’s Deli Boys) will write and exec produce the adaptation. 831 Stories co-founders Claire Mazur and Erica Cerulo will co-executive produce the series in development.

831 Stories is a romantic fiction company that “offers romance fans a myriad of ways to engage with the genre, from monthly novella releases with ripped-from-the-pages product and bonus content, to community driven programming and events, to a weekly podcast, Radio 831, that dives into the trends, topics, and news that has love-story lovers talking.”
