Another series based on a Paramount movie is on its way.
Paramount+ is developing a new series adaptation of the John Travolta-Debra Winger feature film 'Urban Cowboy'.
The project comes from James Ponsoldt, the writer-director behind the film The Circle, and Benjamin Percy.
The development was unveiled by Nicole Clemens, President of Paramount+ Original Scripted Series, at the company's virtual TCA press event.
It joins a number of Paramount Pictures films being adapted for the streamer including Fatal Attraction, The Italian Job, Love Story, Flashdance, and The Parallax View.

The original film, which was directed by James Bridges, followed the love-hate relationship between Buford Uan "Bud" Davis (Travolta) and Sissy (Winger) and is centered at Gilley's Club, a large honky tonk in Texas.
The series will go "deeper" into Bud's journey from farm to the big city in 1980s Houston and will feature music from that time and place.
An 'Urban Cowboy" pilot was ordered at Fox in 2015 but was never materialized.
