Following on from the success of Bad Sisters season two, creator and star Sharon Horgan has announced a brand new divorce drama.
The series, which doesn't have a name yet, will be a co-production between Horgan's company Merman and US network HBO, which has ordered a full season.
Horgan will play a divorced woman in her 50s looking for sex and love. At the same time, she's trying to look after her ailing parents and a son who isn't as mature as he should be.

HBO and Max's executive vice president of comedy programming, Amy Gravitt, added: "We're thrilled to be reunited with Sharon. Her willingness to offer up her own experiences through the characters she creates makes us all feel a little less lonely, that is what sets her comedy apart so brilliantly.

Horgan's company Merman has had an incredibly successful year so far, with the release of the Motherland spin-off Amandaland. Viewers raved about the series and it performed well in terms of ratings, so the BBC have given it an order for a second season.
It was also recently announced that Horgan and Merman will produce a new Netflix series starring Rachel Weisz.
