Peregrym is shooting the third season of FBI, and her credits include Stick It, Rookie Blue, Heroes and Reaper. It’s a story about courage of all kinds and about the healing power of love-and Missy really gets how those things work in people’s lives,” she said. “I’m so thrilled for Missy to bring Cassie’s story to the screen. Netflix is in post on an adaptation of her novel Happiness for Beginners with Ellie Kemper and Luke Grimes. The author saw her novel The Lost Husband turned into a Netflix film last year with Josh Duhamel and Leslie Bibb.

I’m honored to have the opportunity to expand this redemptive story into a film, visually expressing what Katherine so wonderfully built in her book.” Said Peregrym: “I have always been attracted to projects that showcase the depth of pain, the cost of our defenses and the healing qualities of love. 'FBI' Star Missy Peregrym Teases Challenges Maggie Will Face: "PTSD Is A Long-Standing Issue That Sneaks Up Unexpectedly" Cassie can feel her resolve slipping…and it means risking it all―the only job she’s ever loved, and the hero she’s worked so hard to become. She hasn’t forgotten the advice her old captain gave her: Never date firefighters. Hazing, a lack of funding, and poor facilities mean that the firemen aren’t exactly thrilled to have a “lady” on the crew, except for an infatuation-inspiring rookie, who doesn’t seem to mind having Cassie around. The tough, old-school Boston firehouse is as different from Cassie’s old job as it could possibly be. But when her estranged and ailing mother asks her to give up her whole life and move to Boston, Cassie suddenly has an emergency of her own. One of few women in her Texas firehouse, Hanwell is devoted to helping other people through tragedy.

Martin’s Press, the book focuses on Cassie Hanwell, a lifesaving female firefighter who finds herself with more than a few blazes to put out.

She will produce it with Jai Khanna’s Oakhurst Entertainment, and shape it as a potential star vehicle for herself.
