The college admissions bribery scandal had “Hollywood adaptation” written all over it when the news broke in March, and now a TV series in the works. Annapurna Television has optioned the rights to Accepted, the book by Melissa Korn and Jen Levitz, for a limited series with DV Devincentis writing.

Sue Naegle, Ali Krug and Patrick Chu will produce on behalf of Annapurna Television.
