Amazon Studios is developing a series adaptation of Margarita Montimore’s bestselling novel Oona Out of Order, from Spyglass Media Group. Australian screenwriter Alice Bell (The Beautiful Lie) is attached to adapt and executive produce, with Amazon-based Patrick Moran also executive producing.
Oona Out of Order is described as a sophisticated love story that chronicles a romance interrupted and a lifetime rearranged. It revolves round Oona Lockhart, who at the strike of midnight on her nineteenth birthday wakes to find she is the surprise new inhabitant of her 55-year-old body. Where did her life disappear to? Stunned and terrified, Oona grapples with what feels like a catastrophic universal mistake until her following birthday when it happens again – then again and again, without explanation. As Oona leaps from year to year, living her life out of order, she strives to find her way back to her youth and her first boyfriend.
