Spike Lee is getting into scripted TV with Netflix ordering 10 episodes of a series based on the director’s 1986 film “She’s Gotta Have It,” the streaming service announced on Thursday.
The series is described as “a contemporary update of Spike Lee‘s revolutionary debut independent film.” It centers on Nola Darling, a Brooklyn-based artist in her late twenties struggling to define herself and divide her time amongst her friends, her job and her three lovers: cultured model Greer Childs; investment banker Jamie Overstreet; and sneakerhead Mars Blackmon.
Lee is directing the entire series and serves as creator and executive producer along with his producer wife Tonya Lewis Lee, who will also executive produce.
