Former Netflix executive Tara Duncan is going into business with Hulu. Deadline confirms the “She’s Gotta Have It” exec producer has signed an overall deal with the streamer — and she already has a project in the works. An adaptation of Zakiya Dalila Harris’ forthcoming debut novel “The Other Black Girl” is now in development.

The deal with Duncan helped Hulu land the project in a “highly” competitive bidding war. It’s unclear whether the adaptation will be a feature or an episodic.

Based on Harris’ own experiences in the publishing world, “The Other Black Girl” is the story of Nella, “an African-American editorial assistant working her way up at an established, starkly white NYC publishing firm. When the new girl, Hazel arrives, Nella couldn’t be more excited to have a black co-worker, but over time Nella’s world is turned upside as she goes from office darling to public enemy number one,” the source describes. “Is Hazel a friend or foe? The novel is a darkly comedic take on workplace politics and the importance of female friendship.”

The book is expected to hit shelves sometime in 2021. Harris is co-writing the Hulu adaptation and will EP alongside Duncan.

Before her 2018 exit, Duncan worked on series such as “Orange Is The New Black” and “Narcos” at Netflix. “Prior to that, she produced the pilot for Amazon’s ‘Bosch’ and worked at AMC, where she developed ‘The Killing,’ ‘Rubicon,’ and the sci-fi miniseries ‘The Prisoner,'” the source details. She is a founding member of Time’s Up mentorship program Who’s In The Room, and recently launched production company tetraVision.
