Peacock has ordered a series adaptation of Kennedy Ryan’s bestselling novel “Before I Let Go” which “The Best Man” director will helm.
Based on Ryan’s beloved “Skyland” series, the drama follows Yasmen and Josiah Wade, whose marriage is shattered after enduring back-to-back devastating losses. As they navigate divorce, co-parenting and healing, lingering feelings force them to confront whether their love story is truly over — or if a second chance at forever is possible.
The series was created by Kennedy Ryan and Malcolm D. Lee, who co-wrote the pilot. Attica Locke and Tembi Locke will serve as showrunners, writers and executive producers.
A New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Kennedy Ryan is widely recognized as one of contemporary romance’s most influential voices. An NAACP Image Award nominee and Essence and Ebony Power 100 honoree, Ryan became the first Black author to win the Audie Award for Romance.
