Jennifer Love Hewitt On Board New Lifetime Series

LOS ANGELES: Jennifer Love Hewitt is to star in and executive produce the new series The Client List on Lifetime, which has also signed a first-look development deal with Hewitt’s Fedora Films.

The series is based on the network’s hit movie of the same name, which Hewitt also starred in, and will feature 10 episodes with Fedora Films producing. Hewitt received a Golden Globe nomination in the Best Performance by an Actress in a Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television category, following the 2010 debut of the movie. Through the new first-look agreement, Hewitt is set to direct a future movie for the network.

“Beloved by viewers, Jennifer Love Hewitt is an amazing talent on and off the screen and we are very excited about continuing our relationship with her on The Client List,” said Nancy Dubuc, the president and general manager of Lifetime Networks. “This project falls in line with our strategy to expand Lifetime’s slate with unapologetic programming that will surprise audiences.”

“I am thrilled to be working with the fantastic team at Lifetime again,” Hewitt added. “Jordan Budde has written a show that truly reflects the spirit of the movie and I am looking forward to an amazing partnership with Lifetime as both a producer and actress. After hearing Lifetime’s vision for the new direction of the network, as well as the amazing level of talent they are working with, I knew I wanted to partner with them in making quality television.”
