Writer-producer Felicia Pride is continuing to expand her footprint in Hollywood development, with her company Honey Chile Entertainment securing the film and television rights to Kristina Forest’s popular The Greene Sisters trilogy.
The deal, acquired from Penguin Random House, includes the novels The Neighbor Favor, The Partner Plot, and The Love Lyric — a contemporary romance series centered on three sisters balancing ambition, family expectations, and complicated love lives.
Rather than adapting a single installment, the acquisition signals plans to develop the books as a larger interconnected screen property. Pride is set to write and produce the first adaptation while serving as producer on future installments.
The move comes as Hollywood increasingly turns toward established literary IP with built-in audiences, particularly within the romance genre, which has seen renewed interest from studios and streaming platforms after years of being underrepresented in major film and television slates.
A Natural Fit for Pride’s Storytelling Lens
The project aligns closely with Pride’s body of work, which often explores relationships, identity, and the emotional interior lives of Black characters. Her recent behind-the-scenes momentum has positioned her as one of the creatives helping shape the next wave of character-driven television.
Pride currently serves as showrunner and executive producer on Netflix’s upcoming sequel to A Different World, revisiting Hillman College through a new generation connected to the original series’ legacy.
She also recently worked as co-executive producer on Peacock’s drama Bel-Air, where she wrote the final season premiere. The series earned multiple NAACP Image Award nominations heading into this year’s ceremony.
Expanding Honey Chile Entertainment’s Slate
Founded in 2020, Honey Chile Entertainment focuses on developing film and television projects centered on culturally grounded storytelling and the lived experiences of Black women — an area that continues to see growing demand across the industry.
Adapting The Greene Sisters marks one of the company’s most recognizable literary acquisitions to date and positions the banner to potentially build a romance-driven franchise rooted in modern Black sisterhood and love stories.
No distributor or platform is currently attached to the project.
Still, the acquisition reflects a broader industry shift: audiences have consistently shown interest in layered romance stories led by Black women, and creators like Pride are increasingly moving into positions where they control how those stories are developed and brought to screen.
