Julia Roberts is making another move to the small screen. Annapurna Television’s high-profile limited series adaptation of Maria Semple’s bestselling novel, Today Will Be Different, starring and produced by Julia Roberts, has landed at HBO for development.
HBO has commissioned multiple scripts from the project, written by Semple. Today Will Be Different follows Eleanor Flood (Roberts), who wakes up determined to be her best self, but then life happens. Taking place over a single day, it’s described as a rollicking portrait of one woman’s fumbling but valiant attempt to navigate the knotty perils and sly grace of modern life.
This marks Roberts’ return to TV and to HBO following her starring role in the film The Normal Heart. Today Will Be Different also is a return to TV for Semple, who wrote for Arrested Development and Mad About You.
