Emma Roberts To Star In Peacock’s ‘Bride Wars’ Series Reboot

Peacock is developing a TV series based on the 2009 film Bride Wars with Emma Roberts as star and executive producer. The project represents a “fresh, loose reimagining” from writer Sascha Rothchild (XO Kitty, GLOW). Unlike the original movie featuring Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway as competing brides, this version centers on rival wedding planners. Roberts portrays a big-city wedding planner relocating to small-town North Carolina, sparking conflict with a beloved local planner. Their battle to organize the same wedding escalates into broader disputes over friendship, community, and love. The original Bride Wars earned $115 million despite negative reviews. Story URL
