Meryl Streep to Star in The Corrections Adaptation

Jonathan Franzen's acclaimed novel 'The Corrections' is set for a new television adaptation, with Meryl Streep confirmed to star. CBS Studios is developing the series, with Franzen himself adapting the story, which follows a Midwestern family navigating personal crises as they attempt to unite for one last Christmas. This marks a second attempt at bringing the novel to screen, following a failed pilot by HBO in 2011. The project currently lacks a specific streaming or network partner but is expected to be pitched to major platforms soon. Franzen's novel, published in 2001, has remained influential and widely read, contributing to his standing as a prominent contemporary author.
