Marc Malkin Senior Editor, Culture and Events “The View” co-host Sunny Hoston is taking a little more time to enjoy the TV milleu. The multi-hyphenate is in the early stages of developing her first novel, “Summer on the Bluff,” as a television series for Amazon MGM Studios. The series will be produced Hostin’s Sunny Hostin Productions, Amazon MGM Studios and Octavia Spencer’s Orit Entertainment.
The book, published by William Morrow in 2021, follows the tales of three godsisters and their godmother, as well the rich history of Oak Bluffs, an exclusive historically Black beach community in Martha’s Vineyard. The novel explores personal journeys, hidden secrets and the transformative power of heritage. Elizabeth Hunter will serve as showrunner and writer.
She is known for films “Jumping the Broom” (2011) and “The Fighting Temptations.” “Summer on the Bluffs” reps the first installment of Hostin’s summer trilogy. The book became an instant New York Times bestseller upon its release. The second novel, “Summer on Sag Harbor,” also became a New York Times bestseller when it dropped in May.
The third book, “Summer on Highland Beach,” is set to publish on May 28, 2024. In 2021, Variety exclusively announced the launch of Sunny Hostin Productions, a global, multi-platform media company creating content that highlights important social justice issues, meaningful stories and underrepresented groups. Hostin serves as Founder & CEO, while Regina Jansen serves as Head of Development for the company.
