Sarah Jessica Parker is officially returning to HBO with a new series, "Divorce". The premium cable channel has picked up the single-camera comedy, headlined by the "Sex and the City" alum, to series.

Also starring on the rom-com are Thomas Haden Church, Molly Shannon and Talia Balsam. Parker plays Frances, a middle-aged woman who suddenly begins to reassess her life and her marriage, and finds that making a clean break and a fresh start is harder than she thought.

Influenced by her two recently single friends (Shannon and Balsam), she impulsively brings up the idea of divorce with her husband (Church) but then can't decide whether to actually go through with it - until her husband discovers the affair she's been having and calls the marriage off.

Editors' Pick

Sharon Horgan penned the script, while Jesse Peretz directed the pilot. Horgan will executive produce the series along with Parker, Paul Simms, Aaron Kaplan and Alison Benson.

Filming will take place in New York this year.
