Given that it came out in 2004 as an initial sleeper hit, then spiralled into a pop culture sensation, it’s perhaps a little surprising that it’s taken 11 years for someone to have the idea of re-fashioning The Notebook into a TV series. But someone has, with US broadcast network The CW starting development on a show based on the weepie.
While the film used Gena Rowlands as Allie Calhoun, illuminating the history of her grand love affair as a younger woman (played by Rachel McAdams) with Noah (Ryan Gosling, launching a thousand memes), it appears the show may be more focused on just the version of the story that takes place shortly after World War II. The story will follow Noah and Allie as they start their tentative romance and build their lives together.
Though the channel is more known for its superheroes and action adventure slant, it has been trying to broaden itself recently, with shows such as Reign and Jane The Virgin. Nicholas Sparks’ production company is driving this one, with Sparks looking to have input as an executive producer and Joyful Noise writer/director Todd Graff penning the pilot.
