A pple TV+ has greenlit the new comedy series Mrs. American Pie, executive produced by Katie O’Connell Marsh for Toronto’s Boat Rocker.

Kristen Wiig (pictured; Bridesmaids) stars in the 1970s-set story as a social climber angling to become part of the exclusive circles of Palm Beach high society.

Abe Sylvia (The Eyes of Tammy Faye) created the 10 x 60-minute-episode Apple Studios series, based on a novel by Juliet McDaniel. Sylvia will write, executive produce and showrun. Tate Taylor (Breaking News in Yuba County) will direct and executive produce. Taylor and John Norris also serve as executive producers under their Wyolah Entertainment banner.

The project was developed and will be executive produced by actor Laura Dern (Big Little Lies) and her producing partner Jayme Lemons, under their Jaywalker Pictures banner (If Anything Happens I Love You). A news release says Dern is also eyeing a key role in the series.

Last September, Apple TV+ greenlit the Boat Rocker children’s series Amber Brown, an adaptation of the bestselling book series.
