Starz has acquired the rights to adapt Miranda July‘s steamy novel “All Fours” into a series. The project is currently in development at the premium cabler.
“All Fours” tells the story of a woman at a major turning point in her life as she undergoes a journey of sexual awakening. The book’s official description reads: “‘All Fours’ tells the story of one woman’s quest for a new kind of freedom. Part absurd entertainment, part tender reinvention of the sexual, romantic, and domestic life of a forty-five-year-old female artist, ‘All Fours’ transcends expectation while excavating our beliefs about life lived as a woman.”
“I’m thrilled that ‘All Fours’ has found a home at Starz,” July said in a statement. “I had an electric feeling from the moment we met; it was clear we were speaking the same language. Rather than shying away from all the messy contradictions within sexuality and desire, Starz really digs into the reality of who women are and what we want, which makes it the perfect place to bring my novel to life. This is going to be wild.”
Since its release last year, “All Fours” has been on the Indie Bestseller List for 38 weeks and counting, was named a National Book Award finalist and a top book of 2024 by New Yorker, Time, The Washington Post, PBS, Oprah Daily, Vogue and Vulture.
“We are honored that Miranda has entrusted us with the adaptation of her magnificent novel ‘All Fours,’” president of original programming at Starz Kathryn Busby said. “As we continue to expand our boundary-pushing programming for adults, we’re excited to work with Miranda on this extraordinary story that resonates with women around the world.”
CAA brokered the deal with Starz on behalf of July. July is repped by Sarah Chalfant at The Wylie Agency for publishing.
