Adapted from Holly Jackson’s hugely successful mystery thriller, it tells the story of single-minded Pip Fitz-Amobi (Emma) determined to prove a murderer’s innocence.
The cast also includes Zain Iqbal and is directed by Dolly Wells.
Author Holly Jackson said: ‘I’m so incredibly excited that Emma is our Pip. She is phenomenal and this role was truly always meant to be hers. And we found our perfect Ravi in Zain’.
“I can’t wait until we can all see their scenes. I smile every time I see them together because I know we’ve achieved the impossible, and Emma and Zain are the only two people I would trust to bring these characters to life.”
Adding: ‘Everyone will be as happy as I am.’
It comes after Anna made a new romance public last year when she shared a kiss with a mystery man while shopping.
The Motherland star has previously been romantically linked to cinematographer Rich Cornelius, who she met while filming Sky Police comedy Code 404.
It was her first public relationship after her 2020 divorce from Notting Hill director Roger Michell, the father of her two daughters.
A source said this at the time The sun about her relationship with Rich: ‘Anna is in love with Rich and is happier than ever’.

Anna was previously married to director Roger from 2002 to 2020, and they share two daughters together.
She announced their split during an interview with You Magazine, saying: ‘I made him fall in love with me. But you know, we’re not together anymore.
‘Our marriage ended and we have been separated for a while. I haven’t really talked about it because it’s not fair to all the people involved.

‘There are four children you have to think about. It took a lot of time, but we will all get through it in a healthy way.’
When asked how she managed on her own at the time, Anna replied: ‘I am absolutely not a single working mother. Roger is great. I feel incredibly supported.
‘He’s great and we also have a brilliant nanny and my mum helps with the girls so everything is fine.
‘Roger was and is very special in my life… When I met him, he felt like my person, even though things don’t always work out. But you go on living.”
A year after their divorce, Roger died at the age of 65.
