Elisabeth Moss is set to topline another TV adaptation of a novel. Deadline reports that the Golden Globe winner will star in and executive produce “Fever,” a limited series based on Mary Beth Keane’s book of the same name. Moss holds the rights to the novel. She’s teaming up with BBC America and Annapurna Television to develop the period drama.

Published in 2013, “Fever” follows “the first known healthy carrier of typhoid fever who became known as ‘Typhoid Mary’ as she spread typhoid across the burgeoning metropolis of early twentieth century New York,” the source summarizes.

Phil Morrison (“Enlightened,” “Junebug”) has signed on to direct, and Robin Veith (“True Blood”) will pen the script.

“I’m so honored to be working with the incredible team of collaborators we have pulled together with Phil, Robin, BBC America, and Annapurna,” commented Moss. “I look forward to telling this story about one of the most infamous women in America, ‘Typhoid Mary,’ a woman whose true tale has never been told. She was an immigrant in turn of the century New York, a time of huge change and progress in America. She was incredibly unique, stubborn, ambitious, and in fierce denial of any wrongdoing until her death where she lived out her days imprisoned on an island just off of the Bronx in NY.” The “Mad Men” alumna added, “She is incredibly complicated, something I seem to enjoy playing.”

Moss currently stars in “The Handmaid’s Tale,” Hulu’s adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s best-selling feminist dystopian novel of the same title. The critically acclaimed drama was renewed for a second season just one week after its premiere. She won a Golden Globe in 2014 for her portrayal of Detective Robin Griffin in Jane Campion’s murder mystery “Top of the Lake,” set to return for a sophomore season this fall.
