NBC has put in development “Ties That Bind,” a drama based on the Seven Studios-produced Australian miniseries “Secret Bridesmaids’ Business,” which itself is based on Elizabeth Coleman’s stage play inspired by her book of the same name that premiered on Seven Network. Keshet International distributes both the format and 6x60’ tape of “Secret Bridesmaids’ Business,” which stars Abbie Cornish, Katie McGrath, Georgina Haig, and Alexander England.
Written by Deirdre Shaw, “Ties That Bind” is described as an elevated soapy thriller in which three women make a promise to one another that leads them to embark on dangerous secrets that threaten to implode their lives. Facing dire consequences, they must rely on the power of their friendship to survive.
“With its well-crafted relationships and cliff-hanger plot, Seven Studios’ ‘Secret Bridesmaids Business’ is compelling viewing. We are delighted to be developing this show for NBC alongside Universal Television,” said Peter Traugott, President of Keshet Studios.
Shaw executive produces with Peter Traugott (Keshet Studios), Avi Nir (Keshet Media Group), Alon Shtruzman (Keshet International), alongside Seven Studios’ Julie McGauran, MaryAnne Carroll and Amanda Crittenden. Universal Television is the studio.
At present, Keshet Studios has over a dozen different projects at various stages of development or production with a variety of major broadcasters, cable platforms and streamers, including US adaptations of the hit family drama “The A Word” for NBC; “La Brea” for NBC; “Rise and Kill First” for HBO; “The Stuntwoman”; and “All the Rivers”.
