The drama is expected to be a modern take on Fannie Flagg's 1987 novel and its 1991 movie adaptation that it was based on, exploring "the lives of descendants from the original work, per Variety. "When present-day Idgie Threadgoode (McEntire) returns to Whistle Stop after a decade away, she must wrestle with a changed town, estranged daughter, faltering cafe and life-changing secret." Notorious alum Jennifer Cecil is attached to write and executive produce.
