Laura Dern is following in the footsteps of her “Big Little Lies” co-star Nicole Kidman. Dern and Jayme Lemons’ Jaywalker Pictures has signed a first-look deal with Platform One Media, Variety confirms. The news comes a week after Kidman inked a first-look deal with Amazon Studios.

Jaywalker and Platform One are already prepping their first project, a series adaptation of Juliet McDaniel’s “Mr. and Mrs. American Pie.” Slated to hit book shelves August 7, the novel is set in 1969 and tells the story of a socialite and former beauty pageant queen trying to rebuild her identity after her husband and social group abandon her.

McDaniel will pen the script and exec produce along with Dern, Lemons, and Platform One’s Elisa Ellis. Dern is expected to appear in the series.

The deal sees Jaywalker developing a range of projects, some of which will star two-time Oscar nominee Dern, who was last seen in Jennifer Fox’s HBO sexual abuse drama “The Tale.”

“Laura and Jayme are incredibly insightful when it comes to humanizing, celebrating, and exploring characters that are marginalized,” said Platform One CEO Katie O’Connell Marsh. “If you look at Laura’s body of work, she has celebrated that, and they gravitate to concepts and characters that are meaningful and saying something … things that are wildly entertaining but also have a depth of character and a messiness.”

Dern served as exec producer on “Enlightened,” an HBO series she co-created and starred in. The dramedy about a self-destructive exec who has a spiritual awakening ran from 2011-13. She’s currently filming the second season of “Big Little Lies” for the network, in which she’ll reprise her Emmy-winning role as Renata. Andrea Arnold is directing every episode of the murder mystery this season.
