Julia Roberts in Talks to Join Amazon Series 'CHARLOTTE WALSH LIKES TO WIN'

Deadline reports Julia Roberts is in talks to star in and executive produce Charlotte Walsh Likes to Win, a limited series at Amazon based on the bestselling novel by Jo Piazza.

Published to acclaim last summer by Simon & Schuster, the novel has a most timely premise in this mudslinging moment, focusing on a woman who wants it all - political power, a happy marriage, and happiness-then has to decide how much she is willing to sacrifice for all that. An idealistic Charlotte Walsh leaves her job as a high-powered SILICON VALLEY executive to move back with her husband and three daughters to her downtrodden Pennsylvania hometown so that she can run for Senate in a midterm election that will decide the balance of power in Congress. She is initially shocked at how nasty her opponent is willing to play in the campaign, and how harshly she is judged by the media. She also sees that THE STRAIN wears heavily on her family. When a secret is UNCOVERED by the opposition that could jeopardize her candidacy and everything she holds dear, Charlotte is forced to measure that cost against her ambition to make a difference.
