A film adaptation of the novel was released in 1996, but this version coming to Apple TV+ will be the first animated adaptation. Golden Globe and SAG Award nominee Beanie Feldstein will voice Harriet, an eleven year old girl who wants to be a writer.

More than anything, Harriet wants to be a writer, and in order to be a good writer, you need to know everything, and in order to know everything, you have to be a spy!

Emmy Award winner Jane Lynch will be the voice of Ole Golly, Harriet’s nanny. “Harriet The Spy” will be produced by Sidney Clifton (“Black Panther,” “Me, Eloise”). Executive producers include Lisa Henson and Halle Stanford on behalf of The Jim Henson Company; John W. Hyde and Terissa Kelton for Rehab Entertainment; and Wendy Moss-Klein and Nancy Steingard of 2 Friend Entertainment.
