Jennifer Lopez Is Adapting Emily Henry's 'Happy Place' for TV and Fans Have Mixed Feelings

Jennifer Lopez, queen of rom-com movies, is adapting everyone's new favorite rom-com book for TV.

Deadline reported on June 25 that Lopez' production company, Nuyorican, would be behind the series adaptation for Emily Henry's Happy Place , with Netflix having optioned the project.

Producer Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, who worked on J.Lo's movie Hustlers , wrote on her Instagram Stories, "WE CANNOT WAIT TO WORK WITH @emilyhenrywrites on her brilliant amazing novel #happyplace!!!! @jlo"

Lopez reposted this, adding a sticker that said, "Can't wait!"

Emily Henry is a #BookTok sweetheart , so naturally the announcement hasn't been met with unilaterally good vibes.

"and what does jlo know about happy place?? about the emily henry cinematic universe??" wrote one person on X .

"JENNIFER LOPEZ GET AWAY FROM MY EMILY HENRY ," said someone else.

Still, after Film Updates posted about the news, people were a lot more enthusiastic.

"one thing they can never take away is this woman STAYS working - she never rests on her laurels," commented one user.

"Awesome! She has produced some great series I’m excited," said a J.Lo fan.

Lopez has previously produced series including Good Trouble , Thanks a Million , and Shades of Blue . She has also worked as a producer on the movies Marry Me , Atlas , and Second Act , among others.

But one reason I feel like Ms. Lopez is such a great fit for Happy Place is that the woman knows romantic comedy: Lest we forget, she starred in the 2000s classics Maid in Manhattan , The Wedding Planner , and Monster-in-Law , and that alone feels like qualification enough. So excited for this one!
