A Mother's Instinct – Full Movie
EXCLUSIVE: The Mentalist actor Simon Baker, Bruna Papandrea's Made Up Stories and Australian agent-producer Lee-Anne Higgins are set to adapt Emily Perkins' novel 'Lioness' into the film.
The trio have optioned the popular book, which comes from bestselling Aotearoa New Zealand author Perkins. The book recently won the Jann Medlicott Acorn Prize for Fiction at the 2024 Ockham New Zealand Book Awards.
Baker, who has his first full-length TV series lead role since The Mentalist in Netflix's Boy Swallows Universe earlier this year, will direct all episodes. Papandrea, Steve Hutensky and Katie Amos will produce for Made Up Stories, along with Higgins, Baker and Perkins.
