Temple Hill exec John Fischer brought the project in and will oversee it for the company, with Meredith Wieck and Jorge Alfaro overseeing it for Lionsgate. Dan Freedman oversaw the deal for the studio.
Thomas has most recently been seen in the Channel 4 series Suspect. She starred for four seasons in ABC’s acclaimed drama series The Good Doctor and had a key role in Steve McQueen’s BAFTA-nominated Small Axe, as well as Netflix’s Lovesick.
