Peacock has ordered a series adaptation of Kennedy Ryan’s novel “Before I Let Go.” Malcolm D. Lee and Attica and Tembi Locke will serve as showrunners and executive producers.
The series, based on the first book in Ryan’s Skyland series, follows Yasmen and Josiah Wade, a divorced couple navigating shared custody and rekindled feelings. The logline states, “Their love was supposed to last forever, but when life dealt Yasmen and Josiah Wade back-to-back devastating blows, they realized love can’t solve everything. The life they created fell apart, divorce and shared custody followed. Now, Yasmen is finally starting to find joy, but proximity to Josiah keeps the embers hot despite reopening old wounds. They are beginning to wonder if they’re truly ready to let go of everything they once had. Is it too late to find forever? Or could the second time around be even better?”
Malcolm D. Lee, known for “The Best Man” franchise and “Girls Trip,” co-wrote the pilot with Ryan and will executive produce. Attica Locke (“From Scratch,” “When They See Us”) and Tembi Locke (“From Scratch”) are writers, executive producers, and showrunners. Dominique Telson of Lee’s Blackmaled production banner, Mike Jackson and John Legend of Get Lifted Film Co., and Debra Martin Chase of Martin Chase Productions also serve as executive producers.

These characters have meant so much to so many readers, and none of this would be possible without the people who have supported my work for years. I’m incredibly grateful and excited to find a new audience for these books that have changed my life.”
