Bravo Renews Girlfriends’ Guide Scripted Series

NEW YORK: Bravo Media has greenlit a second season of Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce, the network's first original scripted series.

From Universal Cable Productions, the series is getting 13 new episodes. Production will begin this summer. The show comes from creator and executive producer Marti Noxon. The story follows Abby McCarthy (Lisa Edelstein), a self-help book author whose seemingly perfect career and marriage simultaneously implode, and she finds herself navigating life as a single woman in her 40s.

“Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce has struck a chord with Bravo viewers with its sharp-witted humor and emotionally honest take on divorce and starting over,” said Lara Spotts, the senior VP of development for Bravo Media. “We are extremely proud of the talent and creative team, and can’t wait to see what the future holds for Abby McCarthy.”

“We’ve been excited about Girlfriends’ Guide since the day Marti brought it in and we were elated it became Bravo's first scripted series,” added Jeff Wachtel, the president and chief content officer at NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment. “Lisa Edelstein and the rest of the incredible cast have sparked fresh conversations about strong, complicated women in a smart and entertaining way. We are thrilled to be back for a second season with the great team at Bravo.”
