EXCLUSIVE: Universal Television is developing a TV adaptation of the novel Stone Cold Fox by Rachel Koller Croft, who will also pen the series.

Julie Plec and Emily Cummins will executive produce through Plec’s production banner, My So-Called Company as part of her overall deal with Universal Television.

Stone Cold Fox was published Tuesday by Berkley & Penguin Random House. The novel is about an ambitious woman, raised by a con artist mother, who wants to escape her dark past for good.

As she aims to marry into a classic American dynasty for one last con, unexpected opponents could threaten everything she’s worked so hard to achieve. “As a long-time fan of their work, I am beyond thrilled to be partnering with Julie and Emily at My So-Called Company alongside Universal Television,” said Croft. “The women of Stone Cold Fox are ambitious, complex and above all, entertaining, so I know this is a perfect match.” “Rachel’s unique ability to tell this story of calculated deceit in such a breezy and captivating way made us jump at the opportunity to shepherd this story about women, men, sex, money and the lengths people will go to have it all,” added Plec. “It was clear very quickly that Stone Cold Fox was a special book,” said Jordan Moblo, EVP, Creative Acquisitions and IP, Universal Studio Group. “We’re beyond excited to be partnering with Rachel, Julie and Emily, and can’t wait for readers to fall in love (and hate) with these characters as we begin developing it for the screen.” Stone Cold Fox is Croft’s debut novel.
