Oliver will write all of the episodes and will be the creator and executive producer of the show, according to Variety. This will give her the perfect opportunity to make sure the show is how she wants her book to be portrayed.

Oliver said she is grateful that Panic will be among the first of Amazon’s shows to include stories of “emergent adulthood” to their platform, according to Variety. IMDb states that the first episode will air in 2020 and will star Olivia Welch and Mike Faist as Heather and Dodge.
