The same article noted that the feature would be directed by Monika Mitchell, whose previous work for Netflix included "The Knight Before Christmas" and the well-received series "Virgin River." In addition to those credits, Mitchell also occupied the director's chair for a series of TV movies, including "To Have and to Hold," "Woman of the House," and "Same Time Next Week" (per IMDB). Scriptwriters adapting the book for the screen included Suzette Couture, Donald Martin, and Edithe Swensen, with Stephanie Germain, Peter Strauss, and Peter Gruber attached as producers (via The Hollywood Reporter).
