Meryl Streep to Lead TV Adaptation of Jonathan Franzen's 'The Corrections'

CBS Studios is developing the series with Franzen adapting and executive producing, though no network or streaming service is yet attached.

Meryl Streep will star in the CBS Studios adaptation of Jonathan Franzen's acclaimed novel 'The Corrections'.
Jonathan Franzen will adapt his own novel for the screen and serve as an executive producer on the project.
The story centers on an elderly Midwestern couple and their three adult children, focusing on their lives across several decades.
This marks the second attempt to adapt 'The Corrections' for television, following an HBO pilot in 2011 that was not picked up to series.
The project was previously housed at Paramount Television Studios before moving to CBS Studios after Paramount's recent shutdown of PTVS.
