'The Notebook' New Series News: Brand New TV Show Gets Picked Up By The CW
The hit romantic drama 'The Notebook' has been confirmed to return in an upcoming television series on the CW.
The show is said to be based on the story told in the 1996 Nicholas Sparks' novel, as well as the 2004 New Line Cinema film.
Here's the official logline:
"This series will follow the romantic journey of the two beloved central characters Noah and Allie, at the outset of their blossoming relationship as they build their lives and their future together against the backdrop of the racial politics, economic inequities, and social mores of post-World War II of the late 1940s in North Carolina."
It's unclear if the show will follow the film's trend of periodically switching between present day and the past as the story progresses. It's also not determined at exactly what points the series will focus on.
The inclusion of the Noah and Allie as an elderly couple struggling with the Alzheimer's disease was something exclusive to the movie.
"I don't believe we're going to see the older couple-what they become," The CW president Mark Pedowitz told reporters at the Television Critics Association's press tour in Beverly Hills. "But things change [in development]. I'm thrilled Nick Sparks wanted to do it at The CW."
The book's original author will serve as executive producer, along with Theresa Park. Todd Graff has been confirmed to be the writer and producer.
There is currently no premiere date listed for the upcoming series.
