“Today Will Be Different” has been picked up by HBO, which as a result will be broadcasting the TV series debut of film star Julia Roberts.

Adapted from the Maria Semple novel, limited series “Today Will Be Different” centers upon Eleanor Flood, an ambitious woman determined to take control of her life over the course of a single day.

As well as starring in the show, Julia Roberts is also participating as a producer through Red Om Films, in collaboration with Annapurna Pictures, Variety reports.

It is to be the first time that the Academy Award winner has starred in a TV series, but not the first time she’s been involved in TV projects. She led HBO’s own 2014 television movie “The Normal Heart”. JB
