By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on October 6, 2025 Credit for Robin Stevens photo: Charlotte Knee Comment 0 Share New Share Credit for Robin Stevens photo: Charlotte Knee Robin Stevens’ Murder Most Unladylike books—a young adult series featuring two school-aged children, Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong, who solve murders while attending the Deepdean School for Girls—are being adapted into a television series. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the show’s six, 45-minute scripts will be written by Anna McCleery (A Kind of Spark, Free Rein, Secret Life of Boys), with James Strong (Mr Bates vs. The Post Office, 11.22.63, Fire Country) serving as primary director. StudioCanal Stories is the main company producing the project. “The lead characters Daisy and Hazel are a duo worthy of Watson and Holmes’ stature, beloved by millions of fans across the world for their independence, curiosity, and wicked sense of humor,” M-K Kennedy, Managing Director of StudioCanal Television, said in a statement. “The strength of the IP, coupled with the vision of Anna McCleery will ensure this is going to be family co-viewing at its best and testament to our continued ambition to bring bold literary adaptations to television audiences worldwide and with phenomenal franchise opportunity.” “It has always been my dream to bring Hazel and Daisy and their world to life on screen, and I can’t think of better partners to make that dream a reality,” Stevens said in the same statement. “Strong Film & TV [James Strong’s production company] have an incredible crime pedigree, and StudioCanal are the caretakers of beloved family IPs like Paddington and Miffy. I am so proud to be working with them, and with award-winning writer Anna McCleery—there is so much personal passion within the team, and I know that together we are going to create a version of Murder Most Unladylike that will both delight fans and introduce my stories to a huge new audience. It’s an adventure as exciting as anything in my books!” The project is still in its early days—it seems like the scripts have yet to be written—so no news yet on casting or when it will go into production. But given that Stevens has written 12 books in the main series, as well as a three-book spinoff, there appears to be ample material to make this show a multi-season endeavor.
