Lipstick Jungle is an American TV comedy-drama created by DeAnn Heline and Eileen Heisler for NBC Universal Television Studio. The hour-long series is based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Candace Bushnell, who also serves as executive producer alongside showrunner Oliver Goldstick. The pilot was directed by Gary Winick.
The show premiered on February 7, 2008 as a midseason replacement taking over ER's spot at 10/9c. The series will also be broadcast on Living in the UK and Channel Seven in Australia. The show was originally slated to have 13 episodes. However, due to the 2007-08 Writers Guild of America strike, only 7 episodes were produced. It competes indirectly with ABC's Cashmere Mafia, created by Bushnell's former creative partner from Sex and the City, Darren Star.
On February 24, 2008, Lipstick Jungle was picked up for an additional six episodes.

"Based on the best-selling book by Candace Bushnell (Sex and the City), this enticing new comedy-drama follows three high-powered friends as they weather the ups and downs of lives lived at the top of their game. Nico, editor-in-chief of a hot fashion magazine, has her eye on becoming CEO. Movie exec Wendy does everything she can to balance career and family. And free-spirited designer Victory longs to make her dreams come true, and maybe find Mr. Right along the way. Armed with humor and strength, these three modern New York women support one another through the triumphs and tears that are all part of making it big in The Big Apple."
