Leslye Headland (Sleeping with Other People, Bachelorette) to write and direct Tell Me Everything

Earlier this year it was announced that Netflix preemptively acquired the feature film rights to Cambria Brockman's riveting thriller Tell Me Everything for Michael Sugar's newly launched Sugar23 and Anonymous Content to produce with Aevitas Creative Management.

Set at an elite college in small town New England, the story follows the shifting alliances and romantic entanglements of six tight-knit students...until one of them is murdered.

Headland recently wrapped the first season of Netflix's original series Russian Doll which she created with Natasha Lyonne & Amy Poehler

Sugar23's head of production Ashley Zalta identified the project and will produce it alongside Michael Sugar, Anonymous Content and Aevitas's Todd Shuster. Nicole Clemens and Aevitas's Lori Galvin will executive produce.

Sugar23 has a first look TV deal with Anonymous Content.

Aevitas's Lori Galvin and Lane Zachary sold this debut book at auction to Ballantine, who will publish in June 2019.
