Freedom Scripted to adapt memoir "Lucid" by Lucy Holden

Glasgow-based production company Freedom Scripted has acquired the rights to "Lucid", the memoir by author and award-winning journalist, Lucy Holden. Freedom Scripted are making the book into a TV series. The Channel 4 invested indie will work with Holden to adapt the book into a TV series. 

Based on her memoir published earlier this year, the series follows young, ambitious journalist Lucy over a decade, where living conditions are unstable, and love is swipeable.

Development Executive at Freedom Scripted, Nancy Napper Canter, comments, “We are so pleased to be working with Lucy on adapting her brilliantly funny, perceptive and at times gut-wrenching memoir. Lucy’s no-holds-barred account of millennial life is second to none, and we cannot wait to bring her story to life on screen. It’s set to be essential watching for anyone who’s ever come of age, fallen in love, or lived in a nudist camp in Amsterdam.”

Author Lucy Holden says, "I’m so proud that Freedom has acquired the rights to 'Lucid', the memoir of my wild twenties. The number of readers who continue to write-in thanking me for laying bare my experiences suggests I have struck a nerve and that this is a story ripe for screen adaptation. Having already started working on it with the brilliant minds at Freedom, I know the series is going to be quite the ride"
