“Sweetpea” is heading for the small screen. See-Saw Films is developing an adaptation of C.J. Skuse’s novel with “Pure” scribe Kirstie Swain signed on to pen it. “The hope is that it will turn into an eight-part order,” Deadline reports.

Described as “‘American Psycho’ meets ‘Fleabag,'” the thriller was published in 2017 and “chronicles a year in the life of an ambitious but bored young woman living and working in a small British town. By day her job as an editorial assistant is demeaning and unsatisfying, but outside of work she turns to altogether darker, grislier pursuits. Because the girl everyone overlooks might just be able to get away with murder,” the source hints.

See-Saw nabbed rights to the book back in 2017, but Swain just boarded the project. Named a BAFTA Breakthrough Brit earlier today, her credits include “Clique” and “Eve.” But it’s her writing for “Pure” that’s being recognized. The Channel 4 comedy tells the story of a 24-year-old woman with OCD who is consumed with sexual thoughts.

Skuse released a follow-up to “Sweetpea” in 2018, “In Bloom,” and is hoping to release a third installment of the story in 2020. Her other novels include “The Deviants,” “Monster,” and “Pretty Bad Things.”
