Spec Script Deal: “Darby Harper Wants You To Know”

20th Century Studios acquires teen comedy drama spec script “Darby Harper Wants You To Know” written by Wenonah Wilms and Becca Greene. Via Deadline:

The story follows Darby Harper, who after suffering a near-death experience as a child is granted the ability to see ghosts. To combat the existential boredom of high school, she runs a side business counseling local spirits in her spare time. When an unexpected occurrence happens between Darby and Capri, the most popular girl at her high school, Darby reluctantly agrees to help her and in the process learns how to fit in with the living world again.

Wenonah is a Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting winner. You may read my 2018 interview with her here.

The writers are repped by UTA and MXN.

By my count, this is the 28th spec script deal in 2021.

There were 19 spec script deals year-to-date in 2020.
