First Scene of ‘The Ex Vows’ Revealed on Pitt Street Set

**Pitt Street Secures Film Rights for Jessica Joyce’s Best‑Seller ‘The Ex Vows’**

Pitt Street Productions has officially acquired the feature‑film rights to Jessica Joyce’s 2024 romance novel *The Ex Vows*. The deal was announced early this week after the book topped the USA Today bestseller list and captured a wave of BookTok buzz.

The studio plans to package an adaptation “imminently,” indicating that production is poised to move forward quickly.

*The Ex Vows* follows two estranged lovers who must team up to save their best friend’s chaotic wedding. Over nine days at a scenic winery, the protagonists’ strict rules for keeping unresolved feelings at bay unravel as they navigate their past and present.

The novel’s success was driven in part by its viral presence on social‑media platforms that highlight romance and contemporary relationships.

Author Jessica Joyce, who has penned titles such as *You with a View*, *A Risk Worth Taking*, *Twelve Loves of Christmas*, and *Every Ordinary Thing*, is represented by Subtext Literary Management and InkWell Management. The book’s rise to instant bestseller status underscores Joyce’s growing influence in the New Adult romance genre.

## Background & Context

Pitt Street Productions entered the film‑to‑screen arena after producing Amazon’s #1 summer hit *The Last Sunrise*, which was adapted from Anna Todd’s novel. The company also created the teen romantic drama *See You On Venus*, featuring Virginia Gardner and Alex Aiono.

Founder Brian Pitt has a history of turning bestselling books into successful screen properties, notably the *After* franchise based on Todd’s works and the *Beautiful Disaster* series derived from Jamie McGuire’s romance novels.

The studio’s portfolio shows a consistent focus on contemporary romance with wide appeal. Its collaborations with Luber Roklin Entertainment and Ethea Entertainment have yielded projects that blend heartfelt storytelling with commercial viability, positioning Pitt Street as a reliable choice for adapting popular literary works into film.

## What Happens Next

With the rights secured, Pitt Street is set to assemble a creative team and develop a production package for *The Ex Vows*. While specific details on casting or filming schedules remain confidential, the company’s history suggests an expedited process from acquisition to production.

The studio’s prior adaptations typically move swiftly once rights are acquired, often within months of the initial announcement.

Given Joyce’s representation by Subtext Literary Management and InkWell Management, negotiations are likely to involve coordination between the author’s agents and the studio’s development team.

Once a script is finalized, the adaptation will enter pre‑production, aiming for a release that captures the novel’s passionate fan base and BookTok momentum.
