According to Deadline, actress Emma Roberts will be starring alongside Lucifer actor Tom Ellis and co-producing with Meaghan Oppenheimer of Tell Me Lies on a new Hulu network dark comedy series.

Second Wife is a romantic dramedy about the challenges and triumphs of an integrated family. The show begins with its protagonist Sasha played by Emma Roberts, who has just experienced a bad breakup. She makes the sudden decision to leave New York to start her life over again in London, where she meets and falls in love with a newly separated father named Jacob, played by Tom Ellis. In an effort to forget and move past their previous painful relationships, the pair quickly discover a lot about each other they don’t know when they hastily decide to get married.
