-
The TV adaptation of Handler's 2019 memoir Life Will Be the Death of Me, which has been in the works since 2019, is set to become a Peacock series starring Handler from writer Liz Tuccillo. "The series follows Handler in crisis," per Deadline. "She goes into therapy to become a nicer and less entitled person. Mayhem and calamity ensue as she overcorrects, stumbles, regresses, and loses her marbles on her journey to self-improvement. The half-hour series comes with emotional underpinnings as Chelsea realizes she must deal with a tragedy from her childhood in order to truly move forward." This will be the second sitcom based on a Handler novel. Laura Prepon starred in the short-lived Are You There, Chelsea? on NBC in 2012.
