Spike Lee Sets ‘She’s Gotta Have It’ Series at Netflix
Spike Lee is getting into scripted TV with Netflix ordering 10 episodes of a series based on the director’s 1986 film “She’s Gotta Have It,” the streaming service announced on Thursday.
The series is described as “a contemporary update of Spike Lee‘s revolutionary debut independent film.”
Lee is directing the entire series and serves as creator and executive producer along with his producer wife Tonya Lewis Lee, who will also executive produce.
“We are getting an opportunity to revisit these memorable characters who will still be relevant and avant garde 3 decades later,” Lee said.
With all that said it was my wife, Tonya Lewis Lee, producer in her own right, who had the vision to take my film from the big screen and turn it into an episodic series.
Woody Allen is set to premiere his first TV series, “Crisis in Six Scenes,” on Amazon on Sept. 30.
