Selma Hayek’s Ventanarosa Productions will be producing a series based on Leslie’s Lehr’s book A Boob’s Life for HBO Max. The half hour comedy will focus on a woman turning 40s whose life gets turned upside down when her boobs start talking to her. Cynthia Mort will write and serve as showrunner and executive producer for the series. Mort created the series Tell Me You Love Me for HBO, and started her career got as a writer on Roseanne and Will and Grace.
In a statement, Hayek stated, “We are so appreciative that HBO Max was insightful and bold enough to develop this show with us. “In A Boob’s Life, we use breasts as a metaphor for the constant judgement women are submitted to, creating a collective sensation that no matter what we do we are never enough. In this show, we give the breast a voice that takes us through the life of a woman from a unique perspective that often we don’t dare to see.”
