Any dormant intellectual property is fair game for a modern reimagining, and the 2008 romantic comedy "Bride Wars" is the latest film to get the reboot treatment. Universal's streaming platform, Peacock, announced today that it is developing a new series based on the movie, with "comedy veteran" Emma Roberts tapped to star.

The original film famously starred Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway as best friends turned rivals. However, Roberts' co-star for the series has not yet been announced.
In the new series, Roberts will portray a big-city wedding planner who relocates to North Carolina. There, she finds herself in a fierce rivalry with a beloved local planner as they both compete to organize the same wedding. Their professional clash quickly escalates into a larger conflict involving friendship, community, and ultimately, love.
