Though we would love to talk crap about influencers writing books or shows, if we’re being honest, we read them. Most of the time, we even love them. Sometimes they are really good and sometimes it’s as if Chat GPT and we want our money back. We have a feeling though, when it comes to Serena Kerrigan.
She’s an influencer with a lot of insight on dating (at least we think so). She’s and so debut TV series, Older, Hotter, Wiser, on Peacock on May 19. That’s not the only thing though. The entrepreneur has also signed a book deal with Crown, an imprint of Penguin Random House’s Crown Publishing Group.
This is a all a really big deal.
According to Deadline, Older, Hotter, Wiser will be about, “ a young woman ready to take on Hollywood, but first, she must get there. When a logistical mishap forces her and her boyfriend onto a chaotic road trip to LA, what starts as a simple journey spirals into a wild ride filled with unexpected detours, mischief, and a reckoning with her past. As old mistakes resurface and the carefully crafted persona she built online begins to blur with reality, she’s forced to confront what she truly wants—for her career, her relationship, and herself. She’s older, hotter, and on the verge of something big. But is she finally wiser?”

Then she also announced her upcoming book, Let’s F*cking Date. When making the announcement on her Instagram she wrote, “I CANT KEEP THIS SECRET FOR ANY LONGER!!! I can’t believe I’m typing this. I am going to be a published author. Who would’ve thought that English degree would actually pay off??!!”
She continued, “When I quit my job in 2020, I told the head of my department I was going to build an empire. I had no idea what that would look like, but over the past five years it became a live dating show, four card games, a nationwide smoothie, thousands of DMs, and now, a real book.”
“I’ve been obsessed with love stories since I could read, dating books since I could date, and writing everything down since my very first kiss. Over time, I realized the most powerful love story isn’t about another person. It’s about how you show up for yourself,” she said, “So I decided to write the kind of dating book that puts you at the center, because the most important relationship you’ll ever have is the one with yourself. Somewhere along the way, modern dating lost the plot. Between ghosting, breadcrumbing, never-ending situationships, and the paradox of choice with dating apps, it started to feel like a full-time job with zero benefits.”

And added, “This book is here to change that. I couldn’t be more excited to write LET’S FUCKING DATE, a confidence bible that rebrands dating into what it should be: a fun, exhilarating adventure at every stage of love. This book is about empowering you to date like the prize you are, take control of your plot, and find someone who actually makes your life better while building a relationship that lasts.”
“Thank you Crown Publishing and Penguin Random House for making it official. @k_zooski, I could not have done this without you. And to @lorifrances__ and the entire Crown team, thank you for believing in me. I promise to make you proud.” she said finishing off her post, “ To everyone who has ever asked me for advice, opened up in my Q&A box, or let me be part of your dating lives, this book is not just for you. It is because of you. Thank you for trusting me and supporting me through the years. I can’t describe how surreal it is to make little Serena’s dream come true…
“Let’s Fucking Date.”
