dailyrecord.co.uk:

Virgin River’s creator and showrunner Roma Roth will officially adapt another series of books by Robyn Carr into a scripted drama series.The nine-book saga follows another newcomer to a small town and the romance, drama and intrigue that follows.However, it also offers a fresh spin on the genre compared to the Netflix hit and Carr’s other series, Sullivan’s Crossing, which has also been adapted to TV.The series is titled Thunder Point and takes place in the eponymous coastal town whose residents are wrapped up in a property dispute.As opposed to Carr’s previous series, this drama follows a male newcomer, Hank Cooper, who arrives for a friend’s funeral and is shocked to discover he’s been left a beachfront house in their will - the very same property at the centre of the town feud.Wanderer Hank finds himself undeniably drawn to the town as well as a complex and beautiful local, Sarah Dupre.This will be Roth’s third Carr property she’s adapted to screens after previously showrunning both Virgin River and Sullivan’s Crossing for CTV and The CW, but it’s unknown which network or streaming platform this new series will be coming to.In a statement, the producer said: “Thunder Point has drama, mystery, and romance, all the ingredients you need to successfully build a global hit series.“It is certain to appeal to fans of both Sullivan’s Crossing and Virgin River but this time the story is told from a male perspective.“We are beyond excited to be continuing our incredibly successful run with best-selling author Robyn Carr.”And Carr added: “I’m so thrilled that Roma will be producing Thunder Point.“She did such an exceptional job with her previous adaptations of my work, and I just can’t wait to see who she casts for this fan
