Where the Crawdads Sing is based on Delia Owens's novel of the same name and stars Daisy Edgar-Jones as Kya, a young woman who is left behind by her family and forced to raise herself on a marsh in North Carolina. According to The Hollywood Reporter, "the story is both a crime thriller and a coming-of-age tale that intertwines two timelines." Reese Witherspoon and Hello Sunshine's Lauren Levy Neustadter are producing the film, while Olivia Newman will serve as director. A release date has yet to be announced.
