“The Players Table” TV series starring Halsey and Sydney Sweeney has landed at HBO Max, with the project in the development stage at the WarnerMedia-owned streaming service, TheWrap has learned.
Based on Jessica Goodman’s novel “They Wish They Were Us,” the potential series, which would mark Halsey’s TV debut, is a co-production between HBO Max and Endeavor Content.
Here’s the logline for “The Players Table”: The truth may as well be arbitrary in a world where no one says what they mean. In the affluent town of Gold Coast, Long Island — a community sustained by lies, complicity, and absolute moral decay — two young women (Sweeney and Halsey) come of age as they unravel the mystery of a classmates’ murder. But in order to understand what happened to their friend, they must first confront what’s happened to them.
Annabelle Attanasio is set to direct, write and executive produce the project.
