Lucy Hale To Lead DEAD LETTERS Netflix Series Based on Caite Dolan-Leach Novel

Lucy Hale ("Truth or Dare", "Ragdoll") is set to lead Netflix's upcoming drama series "Dead Letters" based on Caite Dolan-Leach's 2017 novel of the same name. The project was landed by the streamer after a very competitive bidding situation that involved several major bidders. Written/executive produced by Rachel Caris Love ("Invitation to a Bonfire") and directed/executive produced by Liz Friedlander ("Shining Vale"), the show hails from Unwell Productions, the company of Alex Cooper ("Call Her Daddy"), and Aaron Kaplan's Kapital Entertainment, which previously produced the Netflix series "Santa Clarita Diet" and "Merry Happy Whatever".

"Dead Letters" is an addictive mystery whodunit-meets-psychological thriller centered on a pair of identical twin sisters, Ava and Zelda, played by Hale. When Ava returns home to the family vineyard in the wake of Zelda's sudden death, she must find out who murdered her beloved twin while reckoning with dangerous revelations about the woman Zelda had become in her absence. To complicate matters: Zelda knew she was in serious danger, so she left behind letters for Ava. Zelda's cryptic and gut-wrenching "dead letters" send Ava on a twisted scavenger hunt for the truth — forcing Ava to question everyone she’s ever loved.

Hale read and fell in love with the book, and along with her manager Leeds, took it to Kaplan with whom she had been talking about collaborating for a while. Hale, Love, Friedlander, Dolan-Leach and Kaplan executive produce alongside Brian Morewitz of Morewitz Media, Elissa Leeds of Reel Talent Management as well as Unwell's Cooper and Matt Kaplan and head of TV Mina Lefevre. Jaiden Kaplan will serve as creative executive for Kapital, which is the studio. Hale and Lefevre previously worked together on "Pretty Little Liars", in which the former starred and the latter oversaw at Freeform.
