Phoebe Dynevor is reportedly set to executive produce and star in a new Amazon series.
The 26-year-old actress is said to have closed a lucrative deal for the new show, Exciting Times, a series in development at Amazon Studios that explores contemporary romance with a twist.
According to Deadline, Phoebe – who made a name for herself as Daphne in the Netflix hit Bridgerton – will play Ava, a young Dubliner who travels abroad to teach English grammar to wealthy children.

The project is based on the debut novel by Irish writer Naoise Dolan, which was released in June last year and described as 'bracingly intelligent, hilarious and raw'.
Phoebe will executive produce alongside Naoise, as well as Cooper Raiff, who is also co-writing the television series.
Finance-producier Black Bear bought the rights to the book to turn it into a premium show and Black Bear’s Teddy Schwarzman, Ben Stillman, and Michael Heimler are also listed as executive producers.
