Exclusive: Friends co-creator Marta Kauffman is returning to broadcast television with The Dreamers, a drama based on Karen Thompson Walker’s novel, which has landed at ABC for development. The project hails from Grace & Frankie co–creator Kauffman and Okay Goodnight, her company with Robbie Rowe Tollin and Hannah K.S. Canter, Warren Littlefield and Touchstone Television, where both Kauffman and Littlefield are under deals.
Written by the mother-daughter duo of Kauffman and Canter, The Dreamers is about a small college town that is transformed by a mysterious sickness that locks victims in perpetual sleep and triggers extraordinary, life-altering dreams.
Kauffman, Canter, Tollin and Littlefield executive produce. Touchstone TV is the studio.
The Dreamers was the first project announced under a multi-year first-look deal Kauffman signed earlier this year with Touchstone (formerly Fox 21 Television Studios). It reunites her with Littlefield who, while running NBC, developed and put Friends on the air.
