Sarah Jessica Parker Returns to HBO in the New Comedy Series DIVORCE

Serving as star as well as executive producer, theatre veteran, Sarah Jessica Parker, stars as Frances in the comedy series DIVORCE, which begins its ten-episode season Sunday, October. 9th, (10:00-10:30 p.m. ET/PT), exclusively on HBO.

Set in Westchester County, NY, DIVORCE is created by Sharon Horgan ("Catastrophe"). After more than a decade of marriage and two children, Frances has suddenly begun to reassess her life and her strained relationship with her husband, Robert. But she soon discovers that making a clean break and a fresh start is harder than she thought.

The story of a very, very long divorce, the show follows Frances and Robert as they grapple with the fallout from their failing marriage, not just for themselves, but also for their children and friends, ranging from awkward public encounters to difficult private therapy sessions.

DIVORCE also stars Molly Shannon ("Promises, Promises", "Saturday Night Live") as Diane, Frances' high-strung friend, who has a successful husband, a beautiful house and no children; Talia Balsam as Dallas, Frances' close friend, who has been both widowed and divorced; Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winner, Tracy Letts as Nick, Diane's husband; Sterling Jerins as Lila, Frances' and Robert's daughter; and Charlie Kilgore ("Moonrise Kingdom") as Tom, their son.
