The Magnolia Parks project is reportedly well on its way to development and A24 is close to entering into partnerships for the series. The company declined to comment.
The first novel in the series follows the story of beautiful but neurotic London socialite Magnolia Parks and BJ Ballentine, the boy who broke her heart.
Hastings' second book (pictured), Daisy Haites, expands the world of Magnolia by following fellow London 'It Girl' Haites, the heiress to a criminal empire desperately pursuing a normal life.
The third and fourth books return to Parks' and Haites' perspectives, respectively. They are titled Magnolia Parks: The Long Way Home and Daisy Haites: The Great Undoing.
The Magnolia Parks hashtag has over 68 million views on TikTok, with dozens of young women posting videos declaring their love for the series. #JessaHastings has another 27 million views.
Hastings, who was born in Australia and now divides her time between London and Southern California, acquired the film and television rights last year as part of the publishing deals for the books.
She has turned to the British team at A24, which is co-led by Piers Wenger, the former BBC director of drama who oversaw such breakthrough titles as Normal People and I May Destroy You. Former BBC film boss Rose Garnett works alongside Wenger.
Other television projects on A24's UK list include an adaptation of Douglas Stuart's 2020 Booker Prize-winning novel Shuggie Bain, which was set for the BBC. The company is also adapting Yomi Adegoke's The List for the BBC and Max
British publisher Orion Fiction has the world rights to Hastings' books, while Bloom Books has the US rights.
