Netflix has picked up the TV rights for Jodi Picoult's hit prose novel The Book of Two Ways. The streaming service isn't waiting around, as it's already got Outlander showrunner Matthew B. Roberts onboard to oversee the adaptation, as writer/executive producer/showrunner.

"It'll have two really hot men," Picoult tells Popverse's Ashley V. Robinson about the adaptation here at BookCon 2026. "There's no downside to this story."

The series is being produced by Sony Pictures Television, in a partnership with Netflix.

The Book of Two Ways follows a young woman named Dawn Edelstein, who after surviving a plane crash sees her life heading in two dramatically different paths: one in which she returns to her home and lives with her husband and child, and he other in which she returns to an older career and lover she left in her past.

This will be the sixth live-action adaptation of a Picoult book, which includes the Cameron Diaz film My Sister's Keeper.
