EXCLUSIVE: Vince Marcello (The Kissing Booth trilogy) is set to showrun and executive produce Diva, a new drama series inspired by the exploits of real-life French heroine Julie d’Aubigny, from iGeneration Studios.

Marcello co-created the series with Max Benitz — who will serve as its head writer — and will also direct a portion of its episodes.Billed as a period adventure-drama told through a very contemporary lens, Diva chronicles D’Aubigny’s rise from an impoverished servant in 1680s France to battle rogues and royalty alike, in her quest to conquer the stage as the opera singer otherwise known as La Maupin.

The show set amidst some of Europe’s most iconic settings, including Louis XIV’s Palace of Versailles, the backstreets of Paris and Marseille, and the lavender-filled hillsides of Provence, will then watch as La Maupin finds fame, fortune and love – with both men and women – along the way.iGeneration Studios’ CEO Ed Glauser and UK Managing Director Michael Shyjka will exec produce Diva along with Marcello and Benitz.

The project will be brought to market at Mipcom 2022, which is taking place in Cannes from October 17-20.“I was immediately drawn to Julie Maupin’s fascinating story but was also amazed that so little is known today about a woman who has been described as ‘the original celebrity,’ someone whose magnificent vocal artistry, magnetic personality and audacious rejection of social expectations made her one of the most famous, and controversial, figures of her time,” said Marcello. “I’m so thrilled to have the opportunity to bring Julie back to life in ‘Diva,’ a celebration of music, dance, adventure, drama and romance.
