Mark Gordon Company (MGC) and Entertainment One (eOne) have announced the first television project to come out of their partnership.

The Ambassador’s Wife, starring Anne Hathaway, is a TV series to be adapted from Jennifer Steil’s novel of the same name. The project will be financed and produced by the L.A.-based MGC and eOne.

eOne will handle the international distribution of the TV series, which tells the story of an American woman who is kidnapped in the Middle East and struggle to be reunited with her husband.

In January, eOne became the majority stakeholder in MGC, acquiring 51% of the company in a deal worth $132.6 million.

Two months later, the co-venture’s first project, a feature entitled All the Old Knives, was announced.
