HBO Orders a Comedy Pilot Starring Sarah Silverman

Sarah Silverman might be HBO’s next big comedy star. THR reports that the pay network has ordered an untitled pilot starring Silverman described as “a comedic look at a pathologically honest woman having a modern midlife crisis.” Silverman will co-write the script and serve as a co-executive producer alongside Secret Diary of a Call Girl creator Lucy Prebble. Silverman previously developed a Lorne Michaels-produced pilot for HBO last year called People in New Jersey, which was ultimately not picked up by the network. Silverman hasn’t starred in her own comedy series since The Sarah Silverman Program ended its run in 2010, so hopefully this pilot has better luck.
