The five-issue miniseries kicks off in November.

Mirka Andolfo’s award-winning and much beloved Sweet Paprika series is getting another spinoff miniseries — Sweet Paprika: Open For Business, which will feature characters from Sweet Paprika: Black, White & Pink.

Steve Orlando, writer of seemingly everything these days, will team with Italian artist Emilio Pilliu on the five-issue series, which kicks off this fall.

But even so, without hesitation, I’ve never had a blast working on a book like I have with Sweet Paprika: Open for Business—it’s my favorite book to write, every month,” said Orlando. “And not just that—I’ve never synched with a collaborator like I do with Emilio.
