Sarah Jessica Parker To Star In New TV Series With Irish Writer

Sarah Jessica Parker is lined up to star in a new comedy series on HBO, written by Irish writer Sharon Horgan. Sarah Jessica Parker, who is best known for her role as Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City, will reportedly star in a new half-hour comedy show called Divorce. According to TVLine, Parker would play one half of a troubled couple battling through a very long, drawn out divorce. The actress is also expected to serve as an executive producer on the project, alongside Irish actress-writer Sharon Horgan, Paul Simms, Alison Benson and Aaron Kaplan. Sharon Horgan is rumoured to be taking part in the project Horgan, who was born in England, but grew up in Dublin and Meath from the age of seven, has won a BAFTA for her comedy writing skills, and has appeared in a number of comedic roles including The Friday Night Project, Free Agents and Have I Got News For You. Horgan, the sister of Irish rugby international star Shane Horgan, penned the pilot script for HBO but no release date has been confirmed. With talks of a third Sex and the City film, we’re hoping to see a lot more of SJP in 2015.
