prequel series is based on the two Alice Hoffman novels of the same name. The period family drama set in 1960s New York City will follow three troubled siblings -- Franny, Jet and Vincent Owens -- as they wrestle with “abnormalities” that have kept them isolated. According to HBO Max, their journey towards self-discovery and self-acceptance will see them contending “with grief, war, bigotry and dark magic, not to mention a centuries-old curse designed to keep them away from love.

The one-hour drama will consist of 10 episodes written and executive produced by Rosenberg and Dana Baratta . Meanwhile, Dunham will executive produce an original series created by 17-year-old Zelda Barnz -- daughter of Daniel and Ben Barnz, the duo behind Jennifer Aniston’s. The half-hour dramedy will follow a group of high school students from a conservative community exploring modern sexuality. Daniel Barnz will serve as director and co-writer alongside Zelda.
