When Amazon Freevee announced that singer/actor John Stamos (Big Shot, Fuller House, Full House) and singer/actress Katelyn Tarver are starring in a pilot based on Jessica Simpson‘s memoir ‘Open Book’), Tarver shared the Deadline headline below and wrote: “So freaking excited.”
Tarver plays a young, gorgeous and talented singer named Sadie Sparrow who teams up with a veteran musician named Butch (Stamos) who is now in charge of writing songs for the young pop star. Butch is described as “self-destructive” and having “one-too-many divorces and far too many drinks.” And yet, he “still maintains a dangerous charm and his signature voice.” Things get awkward between the two.

Jessica Simpson, who executive produces the series, wrote to Tarver: “it is an honor to find myself in your eyes,” and to Stamos: “I am VERY ready to watch you break the mold as Butch Thorne, always makin us swoon!”
