Flip through the latest issue of Gulf Weekly.
Emmy award-winner Debra Messing is set to star in the Showseries six-part series based on the New York Times best-selling novel The Starter Wife premiering on March 17 and continuing every Monday at 9pm. The Starter Wife is a sexy, savvy and wickedly funny tour de force about life after divorce and one woman redefining herself after years of marriage.
If having it all in Hollywood means being married to an ambitious movie studio exec, having an adorable daughter, owning a flawlessly decorated McMansion in Brentwood, belonging to the most exclusive clubs and always getting the best table in the hottest restaurants, then Molly Kagan (Debra Messing) has it all... Until that one phone call that changes everything.
With that call, not only does Molly's husband Kenny inform her of his intentions to divorce just shy of their 10th anniversary (coincidentally before their pre-nup expires), but also he revokes her status as 'Wife Of,' instantly transforming her into a 'Starter Wife' - a decided step down, if not out - in the Hollywood pecking order.
With the help of her friends, some old and some new, Molly discovers that it's up to her to be the architect of her new life and decide what she wants to make of it. Because, after all, Wife Goes On.
