ABC Family (a division of the Mouse House) is adapting the 1999 film 10 Things I Hate About You as a tween TV series.
The plot centers on two sisters, one a feminist, one a social gadfly, who have to start life over at a new high school.
Cast in the show are Ethan Peck (ringer grandson of late film superstar Gregory Peck), Lindsey Shaw, Meaghan Jette Martin, Nicholas Braun, and Kyle Kaplan.
