The news was published on Deadline: Jessica Chastain has just acquired the rights to adapt “The School for Good Mothers” for television, via her production company. Jessamine Chan‘s dramatic novel was released in June 2021 and has been getting renewed attention in the last few days.
Bad mothers
The story is about a young mother, Frida, enlisted by the government to participate in a maternity reform program. If she fails, she could lose custody of her daughter. The institution will analyze her successes and failures as a mother. Does she let her daughter go home alone? Does she hurt herself on the playground? Is she often unsupervised? In the vein of Big Brother, “The School of Good Mothers” questions the idea of parenthood. The series will be directed by Jude Weng.
