The Rise of Producer Emma Roberts: *Calabasas* and Beyond
Roberts is no longer content to simply star in projects; she is actively shaping them from behind the scenes. Her production company, Belletrist, initially an acclaimed book club, is now expanding its reach into television and film, focusing on bringing literary stories to the screen.
Co-Producing *Calabasas* with Kim Kardashian
One of the most talked-about projects of 2025 is the upcoming television series *Calabasas*, which sees Roberts take on an executive producer role. The series is a major venture, co-executive produced alongside her former *American Horror Story: Delicate* co-star, Kim Kardashian. The show is reportedly a fictionalized, dramatic look into the dynamics of the affluent and often secretive community of Calabasas, California.
This collaboration is a significant power move, merging Roberts' acting credibility with Kardashian's massive influence and knowledge of the reality TV landscape. The project is already generating intense buzz, promising a sharp, satirical, and potentially dark exploration of the lives of the super-rich, a thematic area Roberts has successfully explored in past projects like *Scream Queens*.
The involvement of a *Pretty Little Liars* co-star is also a key detail, suggesting a blend of established talent and a nod to the teen drama genre that helped launch Roberts' career. This series is positioning Roberts as a major player in developing high-concept, marketable television.
A New Twist on the Rom-Com: Upcoming Mystery Roles
While her production work is ramping up, Roberts has not stepped away from acting. Her upcoming film slate features roles that continue her trend of subverting expectations, particularly within the romantic comedy genre.
The Murder Mystery Rom-Com
Roberts is set to star in a new rom-com that incorporates a murder mystery element, a perfect blend of her comedic timing and her affinity for the thriller/horror genre. In the film, she will play a struggling actress who is forced to return to her old waitressing job after losing her TV detective role. The plot thickens when she stumbles upon a real-life mystery.
This role allows Roberts to lean into the self-aware, meta-commentary style that has become a hallmark of her most successful work. Fans of her performances in *Scream Queens* and *American Horror Story* are excited to see her bring that sharp, witty energy to a more mainstream film while still exploring darker themes.
The Power of Belletrist
Beyond her film and TV roles, Roberts' passion project, her book club *Belletrist*, continues to grow in influence. *Belletrist* is more than just a book recommendation service; it is a platform Roberts uses to champion female authors and to actively develop literary properties for the screen. This initiative demonstrates her commitment to high-quality, character-driven storytelling, further solidifying her topical authority in the literary and production worlds.
Personal Life Updates: Motherhood and Family Ties in 2025
Roberts has been increasingly open about the challenges and profound changes that motherhood has brought to her life. Her recent comments in late 2025 offered a candid glimpse into her private world, resonating with many working mothers in the public eye.
Getting Real About 'Dark Nights'
In a December 2025 interview, Roberts admitted that motherhood "changed her in every way," openly discussing the "dark nights" that come with raising a child while maintaining a demanding career. This honesty is a departure from the often-perfected image of celebrity parenting and has been praised by fans and media alike for its relatability and vulnerability.
Coordinating with Aunt Julia Roberts
The close bond with her famous aunt, Julia Roberts, remains a topic of public interest. In September 2025, the two actresses coordinated for a red carpet appearance, warmly greeting each other and posing for photos. Emma also showed support for Julia at the premiere of her movie, *After the Hunt*, in late 2025. These public appearances underscore the enduring connection between the two stars, often generating significant media buzz and reminding the public of the family's deep roots in the industry.
Fashion and Style Icon
Roberts continues to be a fixture on the fashion scene. Her appearance at the Fashion Trust Arabia Awards 2025, where she wore a dreamy pink Valentino dress, solidified her status as a style icon. Her fashion choices are often elegant yet playful, reflecting her personality and her willingness to take risks, much like her career choices.
Overall, 2025 is proving to be a pivotal year for Emma Roberts. She is successfully pivoting from being solely an actress to a powerful producer and curator of content, all while navigating the complexities of modern motherhood. Her commitment to diverse, engaging projects, from the high-stakes drama of *Calabasas* to her literary endeavors with *Belletrist*, ensures that her influence in Hollywood will only continue to grow.
