Meryl Streep could soon have her next major TV role. Variety has confirmed with sources that Streep is attached to star in a series adaptation of the Jonathan Franzen novel “The Corrections.” No streaming service or network is attached to the project at this time, but it will be taken out to market soon. Franzen is adapting the novel for the screen and will serve as executive producer. Mark Roybal of wiip will also executive produce. CBS Studios is behind the project. The project was formerly at Paramount Television Studios before it was shut down in August, with Nicole Clemens of PTVS executive producing as well. “The Corrections” was originally published in 2001. It tells the story of an elderly Midwestern couple who try to hold a Christmas reunion with their three adult children due to the father’s failing health. This is not the first attempt to adapt “The Corrections” for the screen. Previously, a film version was in the works but never materialized. After that, HBO commissioned a pilot based on the book in 2011 with Chris Cooper, Dianne Wiest, and Ewan McGregor attached to star. But in 2012, it was reported that the pilot was not being picked up to series.
