As a long-time romance enthusiast who has spent countless hours binge-watching rom-coms and swooning over Emily Henry‘s novels, I can hardly contain my excitement about the upcoming adaptation of “Happy Place.” The fact that Leila Cohan, the brilliant mind behind some of Bridgerton’s most memorable moments, will be writing and showrunning this series is nothing short of a dream come true.
Combine universes, you say? As a hopeless romantic, I’m constantly captivated by heartwarming romances, eagerly anticipating the next season of Bridgerton, engrossed in romance novels, and devouring any scraps of information about the screen adaptations of Emily Henry’s literature. Well, the news we’ve received lately has been quite thrilling, intertwining all these interests! The adaptation of Emily Henry’s Happy Place, spearheaded by rom-com queen Jennifer Lopez, has brought on board talented individuals from Bridgerton to write and manage the project. This development has left me utterly speechless.
As a devoted fan, I can’t help but feel a sense of pride knowing that Leila Cohan was instrumental in Bridgerton’s first season as a co-executive producer and writer. In 2021, her team’s exceptional work on the Netflix romance series even earned them an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Drama Series – quite an achievement!
Apart from “Bridgerton”, Cohan has also created episodes for shows like “Santa Clarita Diet”, “The First Wives Club”, and “Awkward”. Her versatility is evident from the diverse range of projects she’s worked on.
In a nutshell, “Happy Place” is a tale of second chances in romance, focusing on the characters Harriet and Wyn. Despite having been apart for quite some time, they’ve managed to keep their separation hidden from their friends. The narrative unfolds as they embark on a trip with their companions, feigning a relationship. This makes for a complex storyline that explores love, heartache, and friendship – all elements that could make for an engaging TV series! Add a dash of the charm found in “Bridgerton”, and it promises to be even more captivating!

Adding to the fun of this update, Jennifer Lopez will be producing the series.
Jennifer Lopez will be overseeing the production of the show through Nuyorican, joined by Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas and Benny Medina. Known for her roles in movies such as “Hustlers,” “Marry Me,” “Shotgun Wedding,” and “Atlas,” she has also produced these films herself. Additionally, she has been involved in several successful television series. She was not only the lead actress but also an executive producer on “Shades of Blue” which aired from 2016 to 2018. She also served as an Executive Producer for “The Fosters” and “Good Trouble,” two popular and long-running shows on Freeform.
So, all around, I think we’re in good hands.
Eagerly anticipating updates on the adaptations of Emily Henry’s books, I can hardly contain my excitement! At this moment, five of her novels are in various stages of development – a movie for “Happy Place”, and even a TV series, for “Funny Story” where Emily Henry herself will write the script. We also have movies in production for “Book Lovers” and “Beach Read”. The adaptation of “People We Meet On Vacation” has made significant progress by casting Emily Bader and Tom Blyth as the main characters.
As a devoted fan, I find it utterly intriguing that out of all Henry’s books, only “Happy Place” is being adapted for TV. The anticipation is palpable within me! The creative team seems tailor-made for this project, and with Netflix’s track record of hit romances such as “Bridgerton” and “One Day”, it promises to be a fitting home indeed. I can hardly wait to see it unfold on the small screen!
Currently, there’s no information available regarding the release date of “Happy Place” or the actors chosen for Harriet and Wyn. But the recent announcement that Leila Cohan will be joining forces with Jennifer Lopez is an enormous, thrilling leap in the right direction!
As we delve deeper into uncovering details about our “Happy Place”, rest assured that we’ll share the latest findings with you, as each new piece promises to be thrilling!
