Published in February 2024, The Teacher is a psychological thriller about a high school math teacher, Eve, who becomes suspicious of a manipulative student, Addie, who was involved in a past scandal with a former teacher. The plot thickens as Eve’s husband, Nate, also a teacher, develops a bond with Addie, leading to a series of twists and secrets that reveal a dark and complex story of revenge.
The report says that the movie will be adapted by Cohen and Halberg, who recently scored a hit writing and directing Tarot, which had an $8 million budget, and “grossed just under” $50 million.
Deadline says that the duo will also executive produce the adaptation, alongside author Freida McFadden.
When asked about the project, Apple declined to comment.
Since the adaptation is just entering development, there’s still no information on when production will begin or when the film might be released.
Apple TV is available for $12.99 per month and features hit TV shows and movies like Severance, The Studio, The Morning Show, Shrinking and Silo.
