Peacock has given the drama project a script-to-series commitment. It was first reported in December that Universal TV was taking the show to market, with Goldsmith-Thomas and Darren Star set to serve as co-writers and executive producers.

Peacock has landed Climbing in Heels, Darren Star & Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas' drama series adaptation of her novel, with a script-to-series commitment.

Star and Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas will co-write and executive produce the drama about five secretaries navigating 1980s Hollywood and its old boys club.

NBCUniversal-owned US streamer Peacock has landed Climbing in Heels, a drama series adaptation of Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas' upcoming novel, in what it described as “an aggressive script-to-series” bidding war.
