Julia Roberts Is Getting Her Own HBO Series

Get ready for TODAY WILL BE DIFFERENT.

Here's an interesting development: HBO has just signed on for Today Will Be Different, a brand-new limited series starring Julia Roberts. It's the actress' first-ever TV series, and she's also onboard to executive produce the show.

So, what's it about? Take it away, Variety:

Today Will Be Different is the story of Eleanor Flood (played by Roberts), who wakes up determined to be her best self, but then life happens. Taking place over a single day, it’s a rollicking portrait of one woman’s fumbling but valiant attempt to navigate the knotty perils and sly grace of modern life."

That description kinda makes it sound like Today Will Be Different will be a comedy, but Variety clarifies that it's a drama (we're guessing it's somewhere in between). Also worth noting: the show's a limited series, but also takes place over a single day? Gonna be very interesting to see what that looks like in practice.

Right now there's no timeline on when Today Will Be Different might hit the network, but we'll keep you informed as further updates roll in.
