Smith is currently working on her own small-screen project following the recently announcement that her memoir Just Kids will be adapted for TV. The book was published in 2010 and follows the singer’s early life and friendship and relationship with late photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. It won the National Book Award that same year.

US cable network Showtime will produce a limited series adaptation of the book, co-written and co-produced by Smith with screenwriter and television producer John Logan.
