Debra Messing is set to return to television, with the announcement of a new weekly show called ‘The Starter Wife’, a spin-off of her successful Emmy Award-winning mini-series that screened last year.
The former star of ‘Will and Grace’ will reprise her role of Molly Kagan, and will also now serve as executive producer on the new show, which is set to premiere in October this year.
‘The Starter Wife’ will pick up with Messing’s character rebuilding her life after being dumped by her Hollywood studio executive husband .
There has been no word on whether co-stars Judy Davis and Miranda Otto will reprise their roles, with Otto now starring in ‘Cashmere Mafia’.
