The debut novel from Sanjena Sathian '09 is being adapted for television.
Gold Diggers will be adapted for TV by actress and producer Mindy Kaling's Kaling International and Warner Bros. Television. Sanjena will co-write the adaptation while Mindy Kaling is set to executive produce.
"Spanning two continents, two coasts, and four epochs, Gold Diggers expertly balances social satire and magical realism in a classic striver story that skewers the model minority narrative, asking what a community must do to achieve the American dream," according to the book's publisher.
