\nVice Studios has chosen Pen15<\/em> co-creator Sam Zvibleman to adapt Anika Jade Levy\u2019s debut novel Flat Earth,\u00a0The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> has learned. Zvibleman and Levy will co-write, with Zvibleman directing the pilot.<\/p>\n

\u201cSam was at the top of my wish list. His work is distinguished by a sensitive male gaze and a sincere curiosity about the inner lives of women,\u201d Levy said in a statement sent to THR<\/em>. \u201cThere\u2019s no one I trust more to translate\u00a0Flat Earth<\/em>\u00a0to television.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zvibleman wrote and directed most of the Pen15<\/em> episodes for Hulu; Pen15<\/em>, a comedy about middle schoolers \u201cnavigating the awkwardness of their teenage years,\u201d was nominated for four Primetime Emmy Awards. Zvibleman directed full seasons of the CBC series\u00a0The Neddeaus of Duqesne Island<\/em> and\u00a0Take My Wife<\/em>\u00a0for NBCUniversal.<\/p>\n

Flat Earth<\/em>\u00a0is described as a \u201cwry, sharply observed portrait of female ambition in New York at a moment when attention spans are at an all-time low and dopamine tolerance is at an all-time high. It follows two desperate young women \u2014 best friends Avery and Frances \u2014 as they navigate friendship, rivalry, obsession and survival in a city that perennially produces young, hot, brilliant women with curatorial level taste and then discards them when they\u2019ve aged out of the proverbial pleated skirt.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOur entry point is Frances\u2019 experimental documentary, Flat Earth<\/em>, which takes the girls on a cross-country road trip, where \u201cred America and blue America begin to look like different brands of the same competing hallucination,\u201d the description continues. \u201cAs Frances ascends in the art world, Avery flails financially and emotionally \u2014 and the nationwide Adderall shortage isn\u2019t helping. She dates men who hate her, including a liberal law professor twice her age and a reactionary young artist, before eventually taking a job, out of desperation, at a right-wing dating app called Patriarchy and sliding into a series of increasingly transactional relationships.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIt doesn\u2019t help when Frances simultaneously becomes famous and pregnant, leading to Avery\u2019s unraveling.<\/p>\n

\n\tVice Studios recently made headlines for its coming adaptation of the video game franchise Payday<\/em>, which THR<\/em> exclusively revealed in March. Vice is currently in production on Gangs of London<\/em> and will soon release feature film\u00a0Bad Apples<\/em> starring Saoirse Ronan. The studio will be expanding the Gangs of London<\/em> franchise in the near future.<\/p>\n

Zvibleman is repped by Iconoclast and Jackoway Austen Tyerman.<\/p>\n
