Overview
- Paramount announced on September 14, 2026 that Oscar winner Brie Larson will play Katy Silver and will executive produce the studio’s feature adaptation of Rebecca Serle’s bestselling novel.
- Harry Bradbeer, the director behind Fleabag and Enola Holmes, is set to helm the Temple Hill–produced project with Serle and David Stone serving as executive producers.
- The studio has scheduled the film for May 12, 2028, Mother’s Day weekend, a slot that currently lists only Warner Bros./New Line’s Final Destination 7 as other studio competition.
- The adaptation is described as an emotional, time-bending mother–daughter drama set on Italy’s Amalfi Coast that follows a grieving woman who is given an unexpected chance to reconnect with her mother.
- The deal continues a recent studio pattern of attaching major actors who also produce to prestige directors for mid‑scale, character-led literary adaptations and could boost Paramount’s lineup of adult theatrical fare.
