Amazon MGM Studios is developing an adaptation of Rebecca Serle's novel Expiration Dates, where a woman receives slips predicting the end dates of her relationships until one man disrupts the pattern. Deadline exclusively reported that screenwriter Laura Lekkos has joined the project to pen the script, with Emma Roberts attached to lead. Featherweight Pictures' Jessica Pugh and Chelsea Bradshaw are producing alongside Roberts and Karah Preiss of Belletrists, with executive producers Matt Matruski, David Stone, and Serle. Lekkos recently wrote the romantic comedy Relationship Goals, starring Kelly Rowland and Cliff “Method Man” Smith, which premiered on Prime Video on February 4. She is also adapting The Marriage Bargain for 20th Century Studios and has her debut novel All the Little Ways set for release in June by Simon & Schuster’s Gallery Books. Other projects include scripts for Somewhere Only We Know at Netflix and Daring to Live at Amazon MGM Studios. Serle's books have sold millions worldwide in over 30 territories. One Italian Summer, with over 1.5 million copies sold, is in development at Paramount, while In Five Years, exceeding 2.3 million copies in 32 languages, heads to New Line with Working Title. Her latest, Once and Again, is early in development at Apple, and her YA novel inspired the 2022 Hulu film Rosaline.
