Hulu has successfully acquired the adaptation rights for 'Best Offer Wins,' the debut novel by Marisa Kashino, following a competitive bidding process.
The streaming platform is developing a series based on the novel, with Greta Lee attached as an executive producer and potential star, although her deal is still being finalized.
Set to be published on November 25, 2025, the book follows 37-year-old publicist Margo Miyake as she navigates a challenging house-hunting experience in Washington, DC.
Margo is determined to secure a house in a desirable neighborhood before it officially hits the market, hoping to improve her marriage after experiencing a series of unsuccessful bidding wars.
The novel delves into themes of class, ambition, and the modern housing crisis, centering on Margo's obsession with finding the perfect off-market home.
Greta Lee, recognized for her performance in 'Past Lives', is set to star in the series, while Suzanne Heathcote, known for her work on 'Killing Eve', will be writing the adaptation.
Heathcote is not only adapting the novel for the screen but also serves as an executive producer alongside Kashino and others from Entertainment 360.
In addition to this project, Greta Lee is involved in several upcoming film and television ventures, including 'Tron: Ares' and the fourth season of Apple TV's 'The Morning Show'.
Marisa Kashino, who spent 17 years as a journalist primarily at The Washington Post, is represented by UTA.
Heathcote has an extensive background in television, having served as an executive producer and showrunner for 'Killing Eve', and is currently working on multiple projects, including a series for Peacock.
Her other notable projects include 'Fear the Walking Dead' and 'The Miniature Wife' for Peacock, as well as a Netflix film.
