HARRIET THE SPY: Apple TV+ Orders Animated Adaptation Led by Beanie Feldstein

HARRIET THE SPY is coming to Apple TV+.

The streaming platform has ordered an animated adaptation of the children’s novel of the same name, with Beanie Feldstein, Jane Lynch, and Lacey Chabert set to star.

According to Apple TV+, the show “chronicles the coming-of-age adventures of the irrepressible Harriet M. Welsch. Set in 1960’s New York when the original book was published, the new series will be voiced by a star-studded cast including Golden Globe and SAG Award-nominee Beanie Feldstein, who will star as ‘Harriet’ a fiercely independent, adventurous, curious eleven-year-old girl. More than anything, Harriet wants to be a writer, and in order to be a good writer you need to know everything, and in order to know everything, you have to be a spy! Emmy Award-winner Jane Lynch will voice the role of ‘Ole Golly,’ Harriet’s larger-than-life no nonsense nanny. Additional voice talent includes Lacey Chabert as ‘Marion Hawthorne,’ the ringleader of a group of smug, popular girls at Harriet’s school.”

The series is based on the book by Louise Fitzhugh, and will be written and executive produced by Will McRobb.
