Jill Scott to star in HBO series


Our girl Jill Scott is set to have a role in HBO's new series...


Scott will be starring in "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency," a new series for HBO which is based on an adaptation of Alexander McCall Smith's popular series of detective novels.

So far HBO has ordered 13 episodes, beginning with a two hour pilot co-written and directed by Anthony Minghella which was shot last summer. BBC viewers will have their chance to watch the pilot in the form of a stand alone film next month, while HBO plans to use the pilot as the first episode of the new series, which is scheduled to go into production this summer and launch next first quarter.
