“The contemporary reimagining of the 14th-century poem is among the first projects being developed by head of originals Lauren Corrao.
“The Freeform take follows Grace Dante, who thought her life sucked. Between parenting her drug-addict mother and her troubled brother, the twenty-something hero has had to give up all her dreams. Then one day everything changes and her dreams start magically coming true — school, career, love … but the godfather of all this good fortune is the devil himself. And to outwit him, Grace will have to journey through Dante’s Inferno, a contemporary reimagining of the 14th-century poem set against the demonic underworld of present-day Los Angeles.” — Lesley Goldberg, The Hollywood Reporter, October 28, 2019
