Jessica Simpson's Memoir Being Turned Into a TV Series, Katelyn Tarver & John Stamos to Star

Jessica Simpson‘s memoir is being turned into a television series!

The singer and entrepreneur will be the inspiration for the upcoming Freevee series Open Book, which is the same name as her memoir. For those who don’t know, Freevee is the new ad-supported streaming service from Amazon.

Singer-songwriter Katelyn Tarver has been cast in the role inspired by Jessica and John Stamos will have a lead role as well.

THR reports that the show “follows pop star Sadie Sparrow (Tarver) from her mid-20s rise from ingenue to mogul, introducing viewers to the family, friends and lovers she collects along the way. The comedy is expected to touch on themes of love, friendship, divorce, family and sisterhood, relationships, soul connections, Hollywood and the music business as it follows Sadie’s unexpected journey as she ultimately comes to embrace herself and the fact that her heart inevitably wants what it wants at every stage of life.”

John “will play Butch Thorn, a divorced former singer-songwriter and alcoholic with self-destructive tendencies who maintains a dangerous charm and grace. He’s attracted to Sadie and the two form an immediate connection, which makes things awkward when he realizes she’s the young pop star he’s been tasked to write songs with.”

When Jessica‘s memoir was released in 2020, it “was the highest-grossing memoir from a female entertainment personality in history at the time of its debut.”
