Taylor Swift ’s feature-length directional debut remains in active development at Searchlight Pictures, and according to a new update from Hollywood insider Jeff Sneider, the pop star has begun working with Alice Birch on the film’s script.

Birch, a British playwright and screenwriter, is best known for her acclaimed television adaptation of Sally Rooney’s Normal People , as well as for developing the Prime Video series Dead Ringers starring Rachel Weisz. She also contributed to Season 2 of Succession and co-wrote the upcoming feature film Die, My Love , starring Jennifer Lawrence.
