After winning an Emmy for We Are Miracles, comedian Sarah Silverman is sticking with HBO for another attempt at starring in a TV series.
The project is untitled at the moment, but will star Silverman as a woman dealing with a midlife crisis.
TheWrap reports that the series will be executive produced by Silverman with Trollied’s Ash Atalla, Cuckoo’s Dan Hine and Silverman’s manager, Amy Zvi. The pilot will be written by Secret Diary of a Call Girl creator Lucy Prebble.
Silverman has two Emmys on her resume, including one from this past summer for We Are Miracles. She was recently seen in A Million Ways To Live & Die In the West and heard in Wreck-It Ralph. She fronted her own Comedy Central series, The Sarah Silverman Program., from 2007 to 2010.
Her last attempts to star in a series didn’t go so well. In 2012, she starred in Susan 313 for NBC, which the network passed on. Last year, she filmed People in New Jersey, which HBO passed on. Hopefully, the third time's the charm for her.
