Our editorial assessment
Four older women sharing a Manhattan apartment gives the premise a practical source of conflict: private routines become shared decisions. It may appeal to readers who want later-life characters whose concerns extend beyond looking back. This is an announcement preview, so a finished-book verdict would be premature.
Best suited to: Readers interested in friendship, housing and reinvention.
Consider another choice if: Readers needing a book confirmed available to read immediately.

Reading guide and background
Sources checked 27 October 2026.
Kelly Bishop’s move into fiction is making book news this week. Broad Appeal, written with Ali Rosen, is an announced future release—not a novel newly available to read in October 2026. Here is a spoiler-light guide to the confirmed listing.
The announcement and premise
PEOPLE reported the announcement on 27 October, following Rosen’s social-media announcement the previous day. The Apple Books listing identifies an expected 21 September 2027 release through William Morrow. Its publisher description centres on four women in their seventies sharing a Manhattan apartment, with friendship, housing pressures and reinvention shaping the premise.
What to know before preordering
An expected publication date can move. Confirm the edition, retailer country, payment timing and cancellation terms before placing a preorder. A listing for a digital edition does not establish the release arrangements or availability of every print and audio version in your market.
Who might want to follow it
The premise offers a starting point for readers interested in later-life friendships, chosen family and characters rebuilding their routines. That is a description of the announced subject matter, not our judgement of the finished book’s humour or quality. Fans of an actor’s work can enjoy the news without needing to make an immediate purchase.
Keep the announcement separate from a review
There is no full-reading verdict or star rating here. Promotional comparisons with familiar television shows are the publisher’s positioning, not proof of an identical tone. Revisit the official listing and sample closer to release if voice and writing style will decide whether the novel suits you.
