Veena Sud will adapt the film, which was originally based on Francis Iles's 1932 novel Before the Fact, reports Variety.
The story focuses around a dowdy young heiress who marries a charming scoundrel. She soon becomes convinced that he is planning to kill her for her family's money.
Sud is executive producer on AMC's remake of The Killing, which has been renewed for a second season.
The original 1941 version of Suspicion starred Joan Fontaine in an Oscar-winning performance alongside Cary Grant.
Steven Knight (Eastern Promises, Dirty Pretty Things) was recently announced to be working on a new version of Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca, which was also famously adapted by Hitchcock and also starred Fontaine.
The new version of Rebecca will be remade by DreamWorks.
