Lisa Edelstein to star in Bravo's first scripted divorce dramedy series

Bravo is known for its wildly exciting reality shows but the network is looking to switch gears with a new scripted series and House actress Lisa Edelstein is slated to star in the new show.

According to reports, Bravo has been shopping around for the perfect scripted series for some time now, 3 years to be exact, and they lucked up when they came across the dramedy titled Girlfriends' Guide To Divorce.

In addition to Edelstein, the show will star former stand-up comedian, and comedy actress, Jeneane Garofalo.

Edelstein will star in the dramedy as Abby, a self-help book author in her early 40s who hides the fact that she is separated from her husband. The show follows Abby as she embarks on her new life as a single woman in LA. While in the City of Angels, she ends up seeking advice from her divorced friends, including the character played by Garofalo. The dramedy unfolds as the advice from Abby's friends leads her to unexpected and life-altering experiences.

The series comes from Buffy the Vampire Slayer writer Marti Noxon and based on the best-selling books of the same name.

Frances Berwick, the president of Bravo and Oxygen Media, believes the show will be a hit, especially with the country's divorce rate hovering at 50 percent.

Girlfriends' Guide To Divorce will have a 13-episode season.

Although the date is currently unknown, the new series is scheduled to premiere during the 2015 season.
