## Key points

- Netflix orders golf drama Jupiter Island straight to series.
- Creator Connor Hines signs exclusive overall deal with Netflix.
- A24 studios; series inspired by real PGA-world events.

## Summary

Netflix has secured a straight-to-series order for Jupiter Island, a golf drama from Emmy-nominated writer Connor Hines and independent studio A24, and has simultaneously signed Hines to an exclusive overall deal to develop new series for the streamer. Hines, who created and executive produced FX's acclaimed Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette, will write and act as showrunner on the project. The move underlines Netflix's continued push to attract high-profile creative talent and premium scripted drama.

Loosely inspired by real events and celebrities in the world of the PGA, Jupiter Island is set on an ultra-exclusive island where the privileged world of professional golfers and their wives fractures when a mysterious outsider arrives, threatening the sport's reigning power couple. Hines executive produces alongside Julie Gardner of Bad Wolf America, with A24 as studio. The pickup gives Netflix two scripted golf series, joining the Will Ferrell comedy The Hawk (premiering 16 July) and the docuseries Full Swing. Hines' Love Story recently earned seven Emmy nominations, part of Netflix's strong showing of 111 nominations across 34 titles, led by Beef Season 2 (16) and The Beast In Me (9).
