The Emmy winner has signed on to produce and star in an HBO original movie based on Ann Hood’s best-selling novel The Knitting Circle, according to TV Line.

The semi-autobiographical book centers on a mother mourning the death of her young daughter and battling grief that jeopardizes every aspect of her life.

She begins to find her way back into the world through a knitting circle.

Dirty Sexy Money creator/playwright Craig Wright will pen the adaptation, Wright’s first for HBO since his days as a writer for the acclaimed Six Feet Under.
