Lesli Linka Glatter is shifting her focus from a troubled CIA agent to a team of women soldiers on the special operations battlefield. The “Homeland” director has been tapped to direct Universal Pictures’ adaptation of Gayle Tzemach Lemmon’s “Ashley’s War,” Deadline reports.

Published in 2015, “Ashley’s War” “tells the story of the creation by the U.S. Army Special Operations Command of a pilot program that allowed elite women soldiers on the battlefield with Green Berets and Army Rangers in Afghanistan in 2010,” the source details. “The unit, CST-2, brought together a hand-picked group of women from the Army, and that included 1st Lt. Ashley White, who would become the first CST member killed in action.”

Molly Smith Metzler (“Shameless”) penned the script. Reese Witherspoon is among the project’s producers.

Perhaps best known for her Emmy-nominated work on “Homeland” and “Mad Men,” Linka Glatter’s many other credits include “The Good Wife,” “Gilmore Girls,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” and “Now and Then.” She’s teaming up with “Gone Girl’s” Rosamund Pike for “The Banker’s Wife,” an Amazon thriller set against the world of global finance that sees two women trying to find out the truth behind a mysterious plane crash. No word on a premiere date for the series.
