Miramax's Prêt-à-Porter television series is moving from Paramount+ to the BBC

Miramax's Prêt-à-Porter television series is moving from Paramount+ to the BBC

Miramax‘s high-profile TV series remake of Robert Altmann‘s Prêt-à-Porter has shifted development from Paramount+ to the BBC.
Titled Ready to Wear in the U.S., Altmann’s Prêt-à-Porter celebrates its 30th anniversary next year and the movie featured an ensemble cast including Sophia Loren, Kim Basinger, Lauren Bacall, Julia Roberts, Tim Robbins, Forest Whitaker, Katarzyna Figura, Anouk Aimée, François Cluzet, Marcello Mastroianni and Tracey Ullman.

The Miramax-distributed film chronicled the interconnected lives of a group of people in the lead-up to the Paris Fashion Week, where models, designers, reporters and fashion editors gather to present next year’s trends. Below you can watch a clip from the film (with from left to right: Linda Hunt, Tracey Ullman and Kim Basinger).

The Great writer Ava Pickett's television project is now in early stages of development at the British public broadcaster and Paramount+ is no longer involved in the making of the series. The BBC project does not yet have a cast. They are reportedly looking for an upcoming diverse cast, similar to the same broadcaster's Industry, which is co-produced with HBO and stars Myha'la Herrold and Marisa Abela. If it gets the green light, it will be one of the most talked-about projects on the BBC's drama list.

Miramax's television studio focuses on exploiting the distributor's film library and adapting it for the small screen. The company's other projects include Netflix's The Gentlemen, based on the Guy Ritchie film, and a version of the Johnny Depp film Chocolat with Mediawan. Miramax was initially developing a television version of The English Patient for the BBC, but that series is reportedly no longer continuing.

The BBC and Paramount+ both declined to comment.
