ACTRESS Anne Hathaway is to star in the limited TV series “The Ambassador’s Wife” from The Mark Gordon Company.

    Hathaway will also produce the TV adaptation of Jennifer Steil’s novel of the same name, with MGC financing and producing the project after optioning the book rights. Inspired by her experiences as the wife of the British ambassador to Yemen, Steil’s novel portrays the kidnapping of an American woman in the Middle East and the heartbreaking choices she and her husband must make to possibly be reunited.

    “The Ambassador’s Wife” is the first TV project from the indie studio formed by MGC and Entertainment One, which will distribute internationally. The Los Angeles-based studio is led by Mark Gordon, who will continue to produce content for The Mark Gordon Company as well as finance projects by other producers.
