According to Deadline, Taddeo will write and executive produce the series adaptation, which will revolve around three women in their 20s, 30s and 40s for a multigenerational approach.

In Three Women, we meet Lina, a midwestern mother of two who rekindles a relationship with a high school sweetheart after her husband refuses physical affection. There is Maggie, a 23-year-old woman who reports her former teacher for pursuing a sexual relationship with her when she was 17. And then there is Sloane, a happily married restaurant owner whose husband and business partner likes to choose extramarital sexual partners for her.

“Throughout history, men have broken women’s hearts in a particular way,” Taddeo writes in her prologue. “They love and then grow weary and spend weeks and months extricating themselves soundlessly, pulling their tails back into the doorways, drying themselves off, and never calling again.”

It took Tadeo eight years and thousands of hours to research, report and write Three Women. So committed was she to achieving complete authenticity, in fact, that she often moved across America to the towns of her subjects.
