Actor Lily James is set to headline director Emily Mortimer's series on Nancy Mitford's classic novel "The Pursuit of Love".
The "Downton Abbey" star will feature in a three-part comedy series based on the 1945 book from BBC Studios-backed Moonage Pictures and Open Book, reported Deadline.
"The Pursuit of Love" is the first book in a trilogy about an upper-class English family between the First and Second World Wars.
It deals with issues of growing up and falling in love among the privileged and eccentric.
