The young adult book series ‘Popularity Papers’ will be getting a TV adaptation. According to PTI, Corus Media-backed Aircraft Pictures is producing the project along with WexWorks Media.
The original book series tells the story of two best friends — Lydia Goldblatt and Julie Graham-Chang — who are on a mission to crack the popularity code and dismantle the social construct for middle-schoolers everywhere.
Using the scientific method, the girls conduct social experiments on their peers with hilarious results.
The single-camera live-action comedy series will air on youth-centric Canadian channel YTV.
Vivian Lin is attached as the showrunner and has also co-created the television series with Amanda Brook Perrin.
