Scarlett Johansson to Executive Produce The Nanny Diaries Series at Netflix

Scarlett Johansson returns to the bestseller adaptation as Netflix assembles a team of veteran TV producers and writers for the potential series.

  • Netflix is developing a series based on Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus's bestselling novel The Nanny Diaries, with Scarlett Johansson serving as an executive producer through her These Pictures banner.
  • Amy Chozick and Jenny Bicks will serve as writers and co-showrunners after Johansson and director Greg Berlanti discussed revisiting the book while working together on the 2024 film Fly Me to the Moon.
  • The series centers on Annie, an aspiring writer who takes a nanny job for a wealthy Upper East Side couple; unlike the film, she goes undercover to expose the ultra-rich for a book deal.
  • Production involves Johansson's These Pictures banner, Berlanti Productions, and Spyglass Media Group, with Warner Bros. Television serving as the studio for the development.
  • In 2025, book adaptations drove over 9 billion global views on Netflix, representing nearly 20% of total view hours, positioning this series within the streamer's literary adaptation strategy.
