"Cosmo Life" (working title)

Set in one of the most glamorous epicenters of pop culture, Cosmopolitan magazine, this new series follows the work-hard, play-hard lifestyles of a group of young tastemakers at the cutting edge of what's hot in music, fashion, style, beauty, sex and celebrities, often opening up their own lives to millions of readers around the globe.

Produced by Bunim/Murray Productions, executive producers include Gil Goldschein, Jeff Jenkins and Rob Bagshaw, as well as Joanna Coles and Holly Whidden from Cosmopolitan.

"The Abbey Diaries" (working title)
