'Little Fires Everywhere' changes the book's ending. Here's why the Hulu writers did it
Producers/stars Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington reshaped Celeste Ng’s bestselling novel for TV. But she’s not feeling possessive.
“I felt like it was consistent with who the characters were,” she told The Times, referring to the show’s fire starters. “I’m sure there will be fans who are like, ‘That’s not how it happened in the book.’ But I don’t feel like it’s out of character, for that to happen. I feel like it’s just different.”
But Tigelaar knew changing a critical detail in the story would need to be earned. Inside the writers room — a compact space at the Paramount Studios lot in Los Angeles — the hive mind behind the drama gathered around a conference table in late January 2019 as Tigelaar stood in front of a white board to map out their plans for a surprising ending to a story already familiar to many.
