Tennis legend Serena Williams will soon find herself immersed in a familiar storyline as an executive producer for Netflix's in-development adaptation of Carrie Soto is Back, a popular tennis-themed novel from author Taylor Jenkins-Reid. The news was first reported by Deadline on Monday, and later confirmed in a social media post from Williams.
The adaptation, written and executive produced by Amanda Kate Shuman, tells the story of abrasive but accomplished tennis pro Carrie Soto, who shockingly un-retires from the sport at the age of 37 to defend her world record of twenty Slam titles.
