Lipstick Jungle: Season 01
Running Time: 60 min.

Creator Candace Bushnell's television adaptation of her best-selling novel of the same name follows three New York City women who rely on one another for support and camaraderie while navigating tumultuous careers and personal lives. Wendy Healy (Brooke Shields) is a successful film executive, wife and mother. But having it all doesn't come easy for Wendy as she often feels torn between her family and her career. Her husband, Shane (Paul Blackthorne), a former musician turned stay-at-home dad, is usually supportive, but sometimes he longs for a more traditional family in which he's the breadwinner. Wendy also frequently clashes with her teenage daughter, Maddie (Sarah Hyland). Early in the season, Wendy's nemesis (guest star Lorraine Bracco) stirs up controversy when she releases a tell-all book in which Wendy is accused of being a bad mother. Nico Reilly (Kim Raver) is the editor-in-chief of Bonfire Magazine and often collaborates with Wendy because their companies are both run by Hector Matrick (Julian Sands). While Nico tries to fend off the workplace treachery of ladder-climbing coworker Mike Harness (David Alan Basche), she's also struggling to gain the attention of her emotionally distant husband, Charles (Christopher Cousins). As her marriage falters, Nico enters a secret affair with handsome young photographer Kirby Atwood (Robert Buckley), who wants more than just a sexual relationship with Nico. Victory Ford (Lindsay Price), the third member of the trio of friends, is a fashion designer looking to reestablish herself as a top name in the industry. After a career-damaging Fashion Week flop, Victory sets out to create a new line on her own terms. She also begins a romance with quirky and secretive billionaire Joe Bennett (Andrew McCarthy).
