Sarah Jessica Parker's HBO follow-up to Sex and the City is a comedy about marital woes.
Parker will star in a half-hour series titled Divorce, playing a woman who finds that making a break from her marriage is harder than anticipated, HBO said.
Thomas Haden Church (Spider-Man 3, Sideways) plays her husband.
Also in the cast are Molly Shannon and Talia Balsam as close friends of Parker's character, Frances.
The 50-year-old Parker starred as relationship columnist Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City from 1998 to 2004 on HBO, and reprised the role in two big-screen movies.
Divorce will shoot in New York this year, HBO said. A premiere date was not announced.
