Based upon a novel by Anne Serre, The Governesses will revolve around “three rebellious governesses who upend the household they work in – inspiriting the minds of the boys in their care, igniting the imaginations of the bohemian couple who employ them and abandoning their charges for erotic adventures.” Hoo boy.
The Governesses will be filmed in Spain and was co-written by Talbot with poet and novelist Olivia Gatwood, who is best known for her book of feminist poems called The Life of the Party.
