"The original version followed childhood best friends in New York who get engaged at the same time and accidentally schedule their weddings on the same date and at the same location. The new version is keeping the name but not anything else, really. The series will be set in North Carolina and follow a wedding planner who moves to a new town and sparks a feud with the town's currently reigning wedding planner."
"Their fight 'escalates into a larger clash over friendship, community, and, ultimately, love.' Does that mean the rival wedding planners will kiss? Because that's a change we'd be fully into."
Emma Roberts is creating a television adaptation of the 2009 rom-com Bride Wars for Peacock, written by Sascha Rothchild. Unlike the original film featuring Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway as childhood best friends whose weddings conflict, the new series relocates to North Carolina and centers on two rival wedding planners. When one planner moves to town, she clashes with the established local wedding planner, with their conflict escalating into broader themes of friendship, community, and love. The adaptation maintains the original title but fundamentally reimagines the story, characters, and setting while preserving the core themes of female rivalry and reconciliation.
