Mandy Moore to Star in Hulu Series "Twin Flames"

American singer-actress Mandy Moore is set to star in and executive produce "Twin Flames", a series inspired by the hit Wondery podcast, which is in development at Hulu. 

The project sees Moore teaming with former This Is Us co-showrunners Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger and Guilty Party creator Rebecca Addelman.

It is hailed from "This Is Us" studio 20th Television where Moore has signed a new pod deal for her Roll With The Punches Productions.

Under the multi-year pact, Moore and Head Of Development and Producing Partner Averie Joy Maikalima O Makua Huffine will continue to develop and produce series projects for the studio, including an adaptation of The Cut/ New York Magazine article “My Mom Has No Friends”.

The series is written and executive produced by Addelman and tells the true story of two women who find themselves seduced by the online teachings of a couple who preach that every person has a soul mate called a “Twin Flame” and must do whatever it takes to be with that person.

 Desperate to find true love, these two are swept into the increasingly dangerous waters of the Twin Flame Universe.

Aptaker and Berger developed the project under the deal their "The Walk Up" company has at 20th TV. 

The duo executive produces along with The Walk Up Co.’s Adam Londy, Wondery’s Jen Sargent, Marshall Lewy, and Aaron Hart.

"Twin Flames" hit #1 on the Apple Podcast charts and is on track to be Wondery’s most downloaded new series of the year.

Meanwhile, in a very competitive situation with multiple studios bidding, 20th TV has optioned the article “My Mom Has No Friends” by Monica Corcoran Harel for Moore and her Roll With The Punches. 

Harel will write the adaptation and will executive produce alongside Moore and Huffine.

The article tells the true story of what happens when, after her husband dies, Monica’s 80-year-old mother Veronica moves 3,000 miles to Los Angeles to live near her daughter, her husband, and their 11-year-old daughter.

Veronica is very funny and outgoing, with a big personality, but has no friends in LA. Monica helps her find friends her age, including posting an online ad and setting up ‘playdates’ for her.
