It seems Jamie Lee Curtis could be taking a different path with her books in 2025— and it might not be what the fans had in mind. The renowned screen star and author of children’s books are suggesting that she is possibly not considering writing picture books anymore. What will happen next, then?
From Bedtime Stories to Boardrooms
Curtis has authored more than ten best-selling children’s books, including Just One More Sleep, Big Words for Little People, and Today I Feel Silly. Her stories of sharing, understanding, and identity through kids have been in great demand by parents and educators for a long time.
Then, in mid-2025, Curtis shocked everybody at the Cannes Lions Festival by making a statement that she is “shifting creatively.” She mentioned that she is very passionate about writing for children but her new goal is to be engaged in television production, and with that, she will be able to create brand campaigns, and participate in myriads of activities behind the scenes.
Her statement was as follows:
“I’ve been a storyteller my whole life… Now I want to tell new kinds of stories.”
Will She Write for Adults Next?
At the moment, Jamie Lee Curtis’ fans are extremely curious whether they will see her as the next writer of books for grown-ups.
No adult book has yet been formally announced. Nonetheless, the indications are clear. Curtis lately disclosed her desire to touch upon more substantial topics, particularly the ones related to parenting, aging, and her life in Hollywood.
She has been a movie star, an activist, and now a television presenter (for example, she is co-starring with Nicole Kidman in the upcoming Scarpetta series), so many people suspect that she is currently working on a memoir or a set of personal essays.
A Career That Keeps Changing
Curtis is certainly multi-talented given that she is not only involved in writing books and acting anymore but she is a full-time producer now in 2025. The lady in charge of Amazon’s film projects is introducing new commercials to the public and also at the same time, she is co-writing the new story for television shows, which are both for the young and adults.
Specialists in this area who used to read her children’s books may be disappointed, but the air is filled with anticipation from another group of people who are looking forward to that. The new Jamie Lee Curtis books in 2025 might not match the old ones in content or style, and that is what can make them even more important.
Curtis remembers how she feels about the beginning of the book era when she was raising her children. As time went on and her children grew up, she had enough emotion and creativity to start with something else. Her story presents a powerful message that people can have as many re-birth stages as they like.
It’s Jamie Lee Curtis, right? She still has a lot to say. She just moves to the next chapter of her life.
