With The Leftovers ending last year, Tom Perrotta his making a return to HBO with a new adaptation of one of his works, this time the novel Mrs Fletcher.

The plot is described as a dual coming-of-age story, following divorcee Eve Fletcher as she returns home to her 'empty nest' after dropping her son Brendan off at college, while he attempts to navigate life on campus. It'll find both of them dealing with the effects of internet porn and social media on relationships, while Eve attempts to find the happiness and fulfilment that has thus far alluded her.

After great performances in things like Transparent and Girls, it's the right time for Kathryn Hahn to have a turn in the spotlight to herself, while the last time Perrotta made something for HBO it was, well, really special.
