The company also wrapped filming on the comedy “Unplugging” with Eva Longoria and Matt Walsh, as well as the true crime thriller “American Murderer” starring Tom Pelphrey, Ryan Phillippe, Idina Menzel and Jacki Weaver. TPSC recently acquired the life rights to “Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness” figure Mario Tabraue, which they, along with Anonymous Content, are developing into a limited series. “We are delighted to produce Kennedy Ryan’s exquisite and diverse books as Rising Tides is on a mission to highlight stories from rich cultures, who are often underrepresented on screen,” Sadia Ashraf said. “Kennedy Ryan empowers her female protagonists in such a beautiful way as her talented writing lets each take charge of their destinies, and we are thrilled to be working with her to bring these series and characters to life,” TPSC’s Carissa Buffel said.

I am very interested in reading Lo and Kenan’s story which is the third book titled Hook Shot. I already plan to read the other books in the Hoops series. In 2019, Ryan became the first African American author to win the romance industry’s prestigious RITA Award, which has since been renamed the Vivian honoring Vivian Stephens, founder of Romance Writers of America. Long Shot is my first full-length read by Kennedy Ryan and it certainly won’t be my last. “As an avid romance reader who grew up often not seeing myself adequately reflected in the books I loved, it’s a privilege to write stories of women from marginalized communities getting the happily ever afters they deserve.” “Seeing these stories of powerful, dynamic, fully-realized characters of color translated from book to screen is a dream come true,” Ryan said. The series follows three couples whose day jobs include professional basketball, fashion design and sports representation. The “Hoops” series, which includes “Hook Shot,” “Block Shot” and “Long Shot,” are a series of romance novels set in world of the NBA.
