Emily in Paris creator Darren Star and Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas will co-write and executive produce a series for Universal Television based on the latter Goldsmith-Thomas's debut novel, Climbing in Heels, Deadline reported. The studio preemptively acquired the rights to the book, which will be published next April.
"I am thrilled to be partnering with Darren Star and Universal Television to bring life to these complicated, colorful women who refused to be sidelined or silenced," Goldsmith-Thomas said.
Star added: "I'm excited to team up with Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas to bring Climbing in Heels--her addictive fictional account of Hollywood in the 1980s through a female lens--to the screen. It's the ballsy and bawdy love child of Mad Men and Sex and the City. I can't wait for audiences everywhere to meet this indomitable ensemble of female characters who broke all the rules to make their own."
