Television writer and filmmaker Felicia Pride is expanding her storytelling slate in a major way. Her production company, Honey Chile Entertainment, has officially acquired the film and television rights to Kristina Forest’s popular The Greene Sisters book trilogy.
The deal, secured from Penguin Random House, includes all three novels in the romance series: The Neighbor Favor, The Partner Plot, and The Love Lyric.
Widely embraced by readers for its modern portrayal of Black love and sisterhood, The Greene Sisters trilogy follows three accomplished sisters balancing career ambition, complicated family dynamics, and evolving relationships. While each story stands on its own, the books collectively build a larger portrait of contemporary Black womanhood and romance.
Pride will write and produce the first installment while serving as producer across the remaining adaptations, positioning the trilogy as a connected on-screen franchise rooted in emotional intimacy, humor, and aspirational love stories.
“I’ve been a fan of Felicia Pride’s work for years, and we share the same mission of creating life-affirming art featuring Black women,” Forest shared in a statement. “I’m so thrilled that Honey Chile has optioned The Greene Sisters series and I’m excited for all that’s to come.”
The acquisition marks a significant expansion for Honey Chile Entertainment as the company continues building a premium slate centered on culturally grounded storytelling.
“At Honey Chile, we’ve always centered the audience and the power of Black storytelling,” Pride said. “Kristina is such a smart writer whose work completely draws you into her worlds. Her Greene Sisters trilogy captures romance, ambition, and partnership in ways that feel aspirational and deeply familiar.”
She continued, noting that the stories reflect experiences often born in everyday community spaces — from living rooms to girls’ trips — themes the company has prioritized since launching.
A Major Moment in Felicia Pride’s Career
The announcement arrives during a particularly busy chapter for Pride. She currently serves as showrunner and executive producer on Netflix’s upcoming sequel to A Different World, revisiting Hillman College through a new generation led by Deborah Wayne, the youngest daughter of Dwayne Wayne and Whitley Gilbert.
Most recently, Pride also worked as co-executive producer on Peacock’s acclaimed drama Bel-Air, where she wrote the final season premiere. The series earned seven nominations heading into the 2026 NAACP Image Awards.
With The Greene Sisters, Pride continues expanding the type of layered storytelling she’s become known for — narratives centered on intimacy, ambition, and modern Black relationships.
Building a World for Black Women’s Stories
Founded in 2020, Honey Chile Entertainment is currently celebrating five years in operation. The independent production company focuses on developing stories by, for, and about Black women — particularly women over 40 — across film, television, publishing, audio, and experiential platforms.
The adaptation of The Greene Sisters signals not just another book-to-screen project, but a growing demand for romantic stories that place Black women’s emotional lives, friendships, and ambitions at the center.
And if executed the way Pride’s previous work suggests, this trilogy could become the next major on-screen romance universe audiences didn’t realize they were missing.
