Meryl Streep To Star In TV Adaptation Of ‘The Corrections’ By Jonathan Franzen

Meryl Streep is back at it again – and this time, she’s taking over your TV screens. Because let’s face it, after winning three Oscars and three Emmys, why not add more gold to her already glittering mantle?

At a lively 75 years young (because “old” doesn’t exist in Meryl’s vocabulary), she’s now starring in the adaptation of Jonathan Franzen’s novel The Corrections, according to Variety. And no, this is not a movie about grammar (sorry, Oxford comma lovers), but rather a tale of a Midwestern couple desperately trying to pull off a family Christmas reunion. You know, the kind where everyone comes home pretending they’re not harboring deep-rooted issues while the turkey gets overcooked and Uncle Bob drinks too much eggnog. Fun times.

The plot? Simple. Dad’s health is circling the drain, and so what better excuse to guilt-trip the three adult kids into a family holiday extravaganza? Throw in some awkward small talk and passive-aggressive pie, and you’ve got yourself a party!

As for where you’ll be able to watch this cozy family dysfunction unfold, well, no network or streaming service has snatched it up just yet. But don’t worry – this is Meryl Streep we’re talking about. Whoever gets this show will probably slap her face on billboards the size of small countries.

And Franzen? Oh, he’s not just the guy behind the typewriter. Nope. He’s rolling up his sleeves to adapt the book into a screenplay and slap his name on the executive producer credits. Because why be just the author when you can also be the boss?

Meryl’s coming to a screen near you, and she’s bringing holiday cheer, family drama, and probably some tears (of laughter or sorrow – TBD).
