A Boob's Life talking breasts comedy from Salma Hayek is in the works at HBO Max

Deadline

Author Leslie Lehr's upcoming book A Boob's Life: How America's Obsession Shaped Me―and You is being developed as a half-hour comedy about Leslie, "a woman turning 40 and in crisis, whose life gets turned upside down when her boobs start talking to her, forcing her to look at herself in a completely different light," per Deadline. "The show blows open the reality of life in a female body in a culture that is obsessed with breasts." Lehr's book is due to be released on March 2. Cynthia Mort, creator of HBO's 2007 drama series Tell Me You Love Me, will serve as writer and showrunner, with Hayek on board as executive producer. “We are so appreciative that HBO Max was insightful and bold enough to develop this show with us,” said Hayek. “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.”
