The series was later picked up by Starz in early February 2023. The series is scheduled to be released on September 13, 2024.

Reception
Kylie Northover from The Sydney Morning Herald wrote "This was never going to be an easy book to adapt, and [the show] feels bloated at 10 episodes, but Maggie and Lina’s stories are compelling; Sloane and her husband (Blair Underwood) are the least relatable, a lot larger than life than they were portrayed in the book."
