I was very curious about the landscape of marriage and complex adult relationships. And didn't even think it was something that I would be assuming in front of a camera."

"Divorce" which is a dark comedy that is set to premiere on HBO revolves around the life of Frances, who is portrayed by Sarah Jessica Parker.
