Jennifer Lopez 'Can't Wait' to Adapt Emily Henry's Happy Place Into TV Series with Her Production Company

Jennifer Lopez is excited to get to work!

On Tuesday, June 25, the actress, 54, confirmed that her production company Nuyorican was working with Netflix on a series adaptation of Emily Henry's hit young adult novel, Happy Place.

In a post shared to her Instagram Stories, Lopez screenshotted an article announcing the news. After tagging her project collaborators, the multi-hyphenate decorated the photo with a sticker that read, "Can't wait!"

The 2023 novel chronicles Harriet and Wyn, who have "been a perfect couple since they met in college — they go together like salt and pepper, honey and tea, lobster and rolls. Except now, for reasons they’re still not discussing, they don’t," according to an official synopsis.

"They broke up five months ago, and they still haven’t told their best friends," the synopsis continues. "They find themselves sharing a bedroom at the Maine cottage that has been their friend group’s yearly getaway for the past decade, and continue to lie through their teeth to their friends about their relationship status."

Adaptations of Henry's books People We Meet on Vacation and Beach Read  are already in the works for the big screen. The #1 New York Times bestselling author has also written Book Lovers, When the Sky Fell on Splendor and A Million Junes. Her latest novel, Funny Story, was released in April.

Lopez's Nuyorican Productions — which she runs with her producing partner Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas — inked a multi-year, first-look deal with Netflix in June 2021 to develop feature films and television series as well as scripted and unscripted content.

Benny Medina also serves as a partner in the deal, which will put an "emphasis on projects that support diverse female actors, writers and filmmakers," per a press release shared by Netflix at the time.

The "Let's Get Loud" singer's latest movie, Atlas, is her third project under her deal with Netflix.

The sci-fi thriller which was released on May 24, follows the story of Atlas (Lopez), “a brilliant but misanthropic data analyst with a deep distrust of artificial intelligence.” After joining a “mission to capture a renegade robot with whom she shares a mysterious past,” her “only hope of saving the future of humanity from AI is to trust it," per the film's synopsis.

In a behind-the-scenes video shared exclusively with PEOPLE prior to the movie's release, Lopez opened up about why its story resonated on such a deep level. 

“The first time I read the script for Atlas, I felt very passionately about the story and particularly the friendship story at the core of it,” she explained. “At the end of it I was literally sobbing.It's kind of a big action movie, but it has at the emotional core a story about love and friendship.”

“I always feel like the movies I do somehow mirror where I'm at in my life,” reflected the Hustlers star in the featurette. Atlas “helped push me forward into the next chapter.”

Her character, she continued, “is used to shutting out the world and going it alone. She learns that it's only by letting someone in — and that someone happens to be AI — that she can feel the pain from her past.”

According to Lopez, learning how “to take those walls down" is “the bravest and most beautiful thing you can do for yourself and for others.”
