So this will happen on TV soon...

Yep! That's Julia Roberts getting set to star in Maria Semple's 2016 book, Today Will Be Different.  
Semple will write the script for the limited series, so we know it's in good hands. 


I'll keep you posted on both upcoming Semple projects: the TV show and the soon to be movie treatment of her novel Where'd You Go Bernadette?  starring Cate Blanchett.  

Cast of "Suddenly Susan" 

In addition to being an author, Maria Semple is also a TV writer and the producer of hit shows like "Suddenly Susan" (starring Brooke Shields. Remember that show? I loved that show!)
