<p>Screenwriter, director and producer Sofia Coppola is reportedly developing an adaptation of the Edith Wharton novel “The Custom of the Country” for Apple TV+.

<p>According to <em>Variety</em>, Coppola will write and direct the <a href="https://appleinsider.com/inside/apple-tv-plus">Apple TV+</a> limited series, based on the 1913 novel of the same name.

<p>The potential limited series would be Coppola’s second project for Apple TV+, which is gearing up to release feature film “On the Rocks.” Coppola <a href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/19/09/27/apple-plots-theatrical-releases-of-apple-tv-films-before-streaming-release">wrote the script for and directed</a> “On the Rocks,” which will star Bill Murray and Rashida Jones. The film emerged from a partnership between <a href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/19/01/15/first-apple-a24-collaboration-is-sofia-coppolas-on-the-rocks">Apple and film studio A24</a>.

<p>Coppola is known for her film work, including the Golden Globe- and Academy Award-winning screenplay for “Lost in Translation,” which stars frequent collaborator Bill Murray. Other films include “Marie Antoinette,” “The Virgin Suicides” and “The Beguiled.”

<p>The Edith Wharton adaptation will be Coppola’s first entr&amp;eacutee into episodic television, though she isn’t entirely new to the TV world. Previously, she co-wrote and directed “A Very Murray Christmas” and has also worked on TV commercials.
