DESCRIPTION:
(from Peacock's press release, February 2025) Peacock has officially won Climbing in Heels, the drama series adaptation of Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas' upcoming novel, in an aggressive script-to-series bid. Emmy(R) Award-winning creator Darren Star and Goldsmith-Thomas will co-write and executive produce the series. Universal Television, where Star is based with a multi-year overall deal, is the studio. Star and Goldsmith-Thomas will co-write and executive produce the series, bringing to life a fictional tale following the rise of five ambitious secretaries navigating the glitzy world of 1980s Hollywood while offering a glimpse into the boys-will-be-boys club and the women who wanted a seat at a table where they were expected to serve. Described by Star as the "ballsy and bawdy love child of Mad Men and Sex and the City," it's a juicy story of friendship, betrayal, survival and ambition. It's also a cautionary tale about how some of those women became very much like the monsters they worked for. |
