Showtime has ordered a pilot of a dark comedy about cancer that will star Laura Linney. The C Word “delves into the emotional ups and downs of a suburban wife and mother forced to face reality yet also find the light side in a dark situation. A metaphor for the way we all should live, yet rarely do, this is a journey about how to seize the day.” The show is the creation of Darlene Hunt who has written for Will & Grace, Good Morning, Miami and the new 90210.
I can’t claim that the concept immediately grabs my attention, but Laura Linney is completely awesome and one of my favorite actresses, so if she’s interested in a television series, so am I. Assuming the show is eventually picked up for series, expect it sometime in 2010.
