A film adaptation of Emma Straub‘s “American Fantasy” novel is in development from “Imperfect Women” and “The Handmaid’s Tale” star Elisabeth Moss.

Optioned by Moss and Lindsey McManus’s Love & Squalor Pictures, “American Fantasy” was published by Penguin Random House in April 2026. The story follows Annie, a recently divorced woman who boards a nostalgia cruise headlined by the ’90s boy band that soundtracked her adolescence — only to find herself unexpectedly reckoning with who she was and who she still wants to be.
