The Plain White T's HEY THERE DELILAH to Become a TV Series

The Plain White T's hit song "Hey There Delilah" is being adapted into a scripted TV series, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The band is joining up with Lively McCabe Entertainment and Primary Wave to develop a scripted romantic dramedy based on its single, which is about a long-distance relationship.

Producers described the show as a contemporary fairy tale that expands the story within the song.

"It's been more than a decade since 'Hey There Delilah' was released, and people always ask me about it. A whole lot of people really connected with that song, and I'm very proud of that," the band's frontman and songwriter Tom Higgenson said. "I'm so excited to have an opportunity to give a new generation the chance to form their own connection with the song, and fall in love with its story through this new project."

"'Hey There Delilah' is a perfect example of an iconic story song that has introduced characters and a premise to a massive multigenerational audience, and is begging to be expanded into a full-length story for contemporary television audiences," says Lively McCabe Entertainment co-president Barra. "Lively McCabe is thrilled to be working with Tom, Deb and Jeremy to bring it to life on the screen."
