Jenkins Reid has had quite a successful year!

"The Seven Husbands Of Evelyn Hugo" won't be the first of Jenkins Reid's novels to be adapted for streaming.

After multiple titles in Jenkins Reid's catalog began gaining traction on social media over the last year, one of those oft-discussed books over social media's hypothetical watercooler caught the attention of celebrity book enthusiast Reese Witherspoon and was soon adapted into a miniseries by Amazon Prime and Witherspoon's production company, Hello Sunshine, according to Oprah Daily.

"Daisy Jones & The Six" began filming last year and while there has not been an officially confirmed release date for the series' premiere, internet sleuths are speculating the release date may happen in 2022.
