 STORYLINE:

Mario Grigorov is composing the score for the upcoming Lifetime original movie Petals on the Wind.

Merideth Finn & Michele Weiss are executive producing the project with Charles W. Fries, Rob Sharenow, Tanya Lopez and Lisa Hamilton Daly. Kayla Alpert has written the teleplay and Karen Moncrieff is directing. Petals on the Wind is set to premiere on May 26, 2014 on Lifetime.

Petals on the Wind! I had pretty high expectations for this one, Petals is probably my second-favorite Andrews book (after My Sweet Audrina, of course) and while I wish some things had stuck closer to the source material, for a two-hour distillation of a 400+ page book, it does a pretty good job. Whole chunks of story have been eliminated (bye bye Creepy Paul!) and new ones have been written in (I guess we needed a redhead?); we jump ten years ahead and then cram everything else into one year; and the series’ two big mysteries are blown wide open, but all in all, it’s a good damn time. Usual warnings apply: There are some, but not a ton, of spoilers for the end of Petals on the Wind (the book) and for the series as a whole; there are SO MANY screencaps because there were so many to be had.
