Soo Hugh, creator of the Apple TV+ hit “Pachinko,” will turn her attention to the last gasps of the Jazz Age.

Searchlight Pictures has hired Hugh to write and direct Tender Is the Night, F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1934 novel about married expats Nick and Nicole Diver, who live on the French Riviera when they meet a young actress while on vacation. It was the novelist's fourth and final completed work, and it features many of Fitzgerald's trademarks — romantic entanglements, affluence, alcoholism and mental instability. Over the years, the book has been adapted into a play, a TV miniseries, a ballet and a 1962 film starring Jason Robards and Jennifer Jones.

Hugh will produce the Searchlight feature with LuckyChap, Putnam Pictures and Margo Klewans' Moonslinger Productions. Vice President Richard Ruiz will oversee the project for Searchlight Pictures, reporting to heads of production and development Katie Goodson-Thomas and DanTram Nguyen.

Hugh is showrunner, executive producer and writer of “Pachinko,” based on the best-selling international series of the same name. Like the book, the series follows four generations of a Korean immigrant family. Season 1 of “Pachinko” received a Peabody Entertainment Award, a Critics’ Choice Television Award for Best Foreign Language Series, an Independent Spirit Award for Outstanding Ensemble Cast in a Scripted Series, a Gotham Award for Breakthrough Series — and was named one of AFI’s TV Shows of the Year. The second season premieres August 23 on Apple TV+. Following this, Hugh and her Moonslinger Productions banner will executive produce “The White Darkness,” starring Tom Hiddleston. Previously, Hugh was co-showrunner on AMC’s “The Terror” and created “The Whispers” for ABC. Other television credits include writing “The Killing” (AMC) and “Under the Dome” (CBS).
