Hulu has had tremendous success with book adaptations over the last few years. The Handmaid's Tale, Little Fires Everywhere, Normal People, Nine Perfect Strangers and Conversations With Friends have struck a chord with audiences and even been widely acclaimed by critics, too. So it's little surprise that the streaming service has decided to turn Alexis Schaitkin's 2020 novel Saint X into its own mini-series.
Leila Gestein, who previously created Hart of Dixie and wrote on The Handmaid's Tale, developed, produced and is the head writer of Saint X, while Mudbound and Empire director Dee Rees has overseen several episodes, including the pilot of the psychological mystery drama.
