'Who TF Did I Marry?' TV show in the works based on viral TikTok series

A woman's dramatic marriage saga is making the jump from TikTok to television.

A "Who TF Did I Marry?" television series based on the viral TikTok videos by Tareasa "Reesa Teesa" Johnson is officially in the works and set to star "The White Lotus" actress Natasha Rothwell.

The news was first reported by Variety, which said the project has been set up at ABC Signature, and confirmed on social media by both Johnson and Rothwell.

"It's official baby!!!!" Johnson wrote on Instagram. "I'm so freakin excited about this. I know choosing to work with @natasharothwell is the best decision. I cannot wait for us to bring this experience to life."

Rothwell also shared the news in her own Instagram post, writing, "CAN'T STOP. WON'T STOP."

Earlier this year, Johnson went viral with her dramatic, 52-part TikTok series detailing her five-month marriage to a man she says turned out to be a "pathological liar."

Throughout the videos, she describes meeting her now ex-husband, who she refers to as Legion, on Facebook Dating and later marrying him. Johnson alleged she soon learned he had been lying to her throughout the relationship and had created fake bank statements, falsified legal documents, had a criminal record and more.

The TikToks, which Johnson began uploading on Feb. 14, received millions of views, and some fans commented that the saga was as compelling as a TV series. Hollywood was listening, with Rothwell set to star as Johnson and also produce, according to Variety.

Johnson sat down with Tamron Hall in March and said the success of the TikTok series has been "surreal" and that she "honestly didn't think" it would become so popular.

"It has been overwhelming," she said. "I'm still very much a regular woman. I have not quit my job, so I still go to work every day."

This won't be the first time a viral internet phenomenon was adapted for the screen. A popular Twitter thread was turned into the movie "Zola" in 2021, and a Twitter account where a man posted amusing quotes from his father spawned the CBS series "$h*! My Dad Says" in 2010. The show was canceled after one season.
