The romantic drama, which was released in 2004, was based on author Nicholas Sparks' bestselling 1996 novel of the same name, and now he is developing the story for a TV series.

A press release reads: "This series will follow the romantic journey of the two beloved central characters Noah and Allie, at the outset of their blossoming relationship as they build their lives and their future together against the backdrop of the racial politics, economic inequities, and social mores of post-World War II of the late 1940s in North Carolina."

Sparks will serve as a co-executive producer on the project, which will be written and produced by Todd Graff for potential broadcast on America's The CW network.
