Variety

Gamble is adapting Francesca Lia Block book Weetzie Bat for Universal Content Productions. The book follows "Weetzie, her best friend Dirk, and their found family as they traverse the sparkling, dangerous, secret world beneath the surface of 1980s Los Angeles," per Variety. "Weetzie faces the deepest heartbreaks of life with a spirit of hard-won optimism and an unfailing knack for finding the magic hidden inside the ordinary. Weetzie has discovered something amazing: magic is real, and it is hiding in plain sight in the city of Los Angeles. Now, if she can find it, she can use it to get what she’s always wanted: true love, a real home, and a happy family." Weetzie Bat is one of two shows Gamble is working. She's also developing Providence for Peacock.
