Exclusive: "Gilmore Girls" Creator Adapts "The Nanny Diaries" for ABC

"Gilmore Girls" creator Amy Sherman-Palladino is busy working on a new drama project for ABC. Sherman-Palladino is looking to adapt the 2002 book The Nanny Diaries into a TV series for the network.
ABC is close to ordering a script from Sherman-Palladino through its sister studio, ABC Studios, which is behind the project.
The Nanny Diaries centers on a group of nannies who work for upper class Manhattan parents; Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus wrote the book, which was published in 2002.
(A sequel, Nanny Returns, was released in 2009.)
The Nanny Diaries has already been turned into a 2007 feature film, starring Scarlett Johansson, Laura Linney, Paul Giamatti, Alicia Keys and Chris Evans.
The movie took in a little more than $25 million at the domestic box office — a small amount, but ABC is likely more interested tapping into the success of the book, which was a No. 1 New York Times bestseller.
