Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown will star in, and produce, a new adaptation of The Girls I’ve Been.

The Girls I’ve Been is a twisty, exhilarating thriller centred on a con artist, Nora, who must use her powers of persuasion and impersonation to get herself, her girlfriend, and ex-boyfriend free during a hostage situation at a bank.

The novel, written by Tess Sharpe, will be published early next year, but has already been snapped up by Jason Bateman’s Aggregate Films. As part of Aggregate’s overall deal with Netflix, the project is now in development at the streamer, brought in by the Aggregate’s Tracey Nyberg and with both the company’s Michael Costigan and Millie Bobby Brown (PCMA Productions) on board as producers.

Millie Bobby Brown is already developing A Time Lost at Netflix. She is producing the film based on an original story she wrote with her sister Paige Brown. Her next project Enola Holmes, which she stars in and is producing with Paige Brown, will be released on Netflix later this year.
