Variety

The two actresses are teaming to adapt Tembi Locke’s memoir of the same name, described as "as an autobiographical romance that follows an American woman as she falls in love with a Sicilian man while studying abroad in Italy then builds a life with him in the United States. When she unexpectedly loses him to illness, she is challenged to pull herself through grief so she can raise their daughter as they would have raised her together: with hope, joy and infinite love." From Scratch was published in April. Tembi Locke’s sister Attica Locke, a former When They See Us writer, will serve as showrunner and executive producer on the series.
