Overview
- Netflix announced on July 9, 2026 that it gave a straight-to-series order for Jupiter Island and signed an exclusive overall development deal with creator Connor Hines.
- Hines will write the series, serve as showrunner and executive produce with Julie Gardner of Bad Wolf America while A24 is the studio partner.
- The show is described as a character-driven drama set on an ultra‑exclusive island where a mysterious outsider and a threatening secret unsettle the world of professional golfers and their partners.
- Hines arrives at Netflix fresh off multiple Emmy nominations for Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette, a recognition that industry coverage says strengthened his bargaining position.
- The pickup joins Netflix’s growing golf-themed slate, sits early in development with no cast or shoot dates announced, and the straight-to-series order signals the streamer’s confidence and intent to fast-track production.
