According to a report by TV Guide, Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino is looking to adapt the 2002 book "The Nanny Diaries" into a Television series and is giving ABC first crack at picking the project up. The Nanny Diaries centers on a group of nannies who work for upper class Manhattan parents. Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus wrote the book, which was published back in 2002.

Word has it that ABC, through it's sister studio, ABC Studios is close to picking up the script but The Nanny Diaries has already made it's debut on the BIG Screen. Back in 2007 the feature film The Nanny Diaries hit theaters and starred Scarlett Johansson, Laura Linney, Paul Giamatti, Alicia Keys and Chris Evans. The movie didn't do so well at the domestic box office, only bringing it $25M during it;s theatrical run but ABC looks to tap into the success of the book, which was a New York Times bestseller.

The Nanny Diaries isn't the only book-turned-movie that ABC is now looking to turn into a TV show. Earlier today Variety reported that the network is also working on a TV adaptation of the Michael Connelly novel The Lincoln Lawyer, which was later turned into a movie starring Matthew McConaughey.
