Netflix Sets Golf Drama ‘Jupiter Island’ From ‘Love Story’ Creator, A24

A new drama series titled “Jupiter Island” is set to premiere on Netflix, focusing on elite golfers on an exclusive island. The show is created by Connor Hines, known for FX’s “Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette,” and produced by A24. This project marks the beginning of a new partnership between Hines and Netflix, with the show receiving a straight-to-series order.

The storyline of “Jupiter Island” revolves around the privileged world of professional golfers and their wives on the ultra-exclusive Jupiter Island. The harmony of this elite community is disrupted when a mysterious outsider arrives, bringing with them a secret that threatens the reigning power couple in the world of golf. While casting details are yet to be announced, the anticipation for this series is already building.

Expressing his excitement for the collaboration, Connor Hines shared, “I’m thrilled to be partnering with Netflix, A24, and Bad Wolf’s Julie Gardner. I’ve been developing the world of ‘Jupiter Island’ for a while now, and I am grateful to have the opportunity to bring it to life with such incredible collaborators.”

Jinny Howe, Netflix’s head of scripted series in the U.S. and Canada, also expressed enthusiasm for the project, stating, “Connor has a rare talent for crafting rich, character-driven stories, as evidenced by ‘Jupiter Island.’ This series aligns with our mission to deliver top-tier television content that captivates our audience. With his recent Emmy nomination, it’s clear that Connor is just getting started, and we look forward to his future projects.”

The announcement of “Jupiter Island” comes on the heels of Connor Hines receiving an Emmy nomination for “Love Story,” which is in contention for the award for best limited or anthology series. This recognition further solidifies Hines’ reputation as a rising talent in the industry.

“Jupiter Island” joins a wave of golf-themed series, including Netflix’s upcoming comedy “The Hawk” starring Will Ferrell and Apple TV’s “Stick” featuring Owen Wilson.
