Sadie Robertson is returning to TV — this time behind the camera!

The Duck Dynasty star confirmed the news on Instagram Friday that her fiction book, Life Just Got Real, will be developed into a scripted series.

"I really can't believe my fiction book is about to come to life as a scripted series! feeling incredibly grateful," Robertson, 23, wrote. "as always ALL glory to God and I pray God would use this show as another way to encourage people in their everyday life and bring family and friends together 💛."

The story follows two teenage girls from incredibly different backgrounds who, after being cast on a reality TV show, realize "there is more to friendship than meets the eye."
