Beau Garrett, Lisa Edelstein, Necar Zadegan and Alanna Ubach star in "Girlfriend's Guide to Divorce"

Girl power: One of Bravo's most talked-about series is back for round 2, and more great talent is sure to equal even more drama this time around. The second season of "Girlfriend's Guide to Divorce," premiering Tuesday, Dec. 1, on the cabler, will again star the indefatigable Lisa Edelstein ("House") as Abby McCarthy, a 40-something author in the midst of a messy divorce.

Though divorce, change and moving on are central themes of the show, the most poignant motif is friendship; as Abby deals with the difficult changes in her life, she is supported by her friends, who do their best to strengthen one another as each woman navigates their own unique and complex relationships. Alanna Ubach ("Legally Blonde," 2001), Beau Garrett ("TRON: Legacy," 2010) and Necar Zadegan ("24") star as friends Jo, Phoebe and Delia, respectively.

This season, Retta -- who played the always fabulous Donna in "Parks and Recreation" -- joins the cast as Barbara, a rival of Abby's. Also joining the team is former "Smash" star Megan Hilty, who stars as Jo's ex-husband's new wife.

Reprising her role as Abby's agent is Carrie Fisher ("Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope," 1977), who will play a more prominent role this season.

Season 2 of "Girlfriend's Guide to Divorce" premieres Tuesday, Dec. 1, on Bravo.

'Saul' searching: AMC is preparing to unleash the second season of its "Breaking Bad" prequel. Spinoffs are a big risk for networks -- it's often impossible to transplant the magic of one show into another -- but AMC has been fully committed to "Better Call Saul" from the get-go, even ordering season 2 months before season 1 began.

A good thing, too, since it turned out to be a huge hit with critics and viewers alike, even winning star Bob Odenkirk ("Fargo") an Emmy nomination. AMC dropped the preview for season 2 early in November and, like its freshman run, viewers can expect the 10-episode season to premiere some time in February.

This season, it seems Jimmy McGill (Odenkirk) is in for a darker storyline than last; McGill states in the preview that he will no longer be held back by the desire to "do the right thing," and proceeds to identify himself as Saul Goodman. For those unfamiliar with the story, McGill and Goodman are one and the same, before he adopted the moniker -- as this is a prequel, we get to see how earnest and down-on-his-luck McGill morphed into "Breaking Bad's" much sketchier version of Saul over the course of the series.

Odenkirk is a comedy writer by trade, so the role of a slimy, corrupt lawyer was somewhat of a departure for the actor. A fan favorite from his first appearance in season 2 of "Breaking Bad," AMC recognized the character's value and launched the spinoff in 2013, the same year "Breaking Bad" concluded. Though he may be working outside his comfort zone, Odenkirk has really leaned into the part, bringing just enough sly humor and manic intensity to the table to keep the sleazy character relatable and exciting.

Watch for the premiere of "Better Call Saul," which returns in February on AMC.

Something old, something new: An old romcom favorite is about to get a makeover. ABC has teamed up with producers of the 1997 hit movie "My Best Friend's Wedding" in an effort to bring the characters to the small screen in a half-hour comedy.

The film starred Julia Roberts ("Erin Brockovich," 2000) as 27-year-old Julianne Potter, a woman who made a pact with her best friend, Michael (Dermot Mulroney, "The Grey," 2011), that they would marry at 28 if neither were tied down already. When Michael announces his impending nuptials just weeks before Jules' 28th birthday, she goes off the deep end and does her best to sabotage his wedding (hilariously, of course).

The end of the film finds Jules in a much more accepting state of mind, and this is where the TV show will start off. Jules is happy for Michael and his wife, though maybe still a bit sad, and now has her whole life ahead of her with no one to fall back on. She's single and free in New York City with another best friend by her side.

Played by Rupert Everett ("Parade's End") in the film, George Downes is Jules' partner in crime and confidante; with enough confidence for both of them and sass for days, George balances out Jules' insecurities and is sure to provide plenty drama of his own.

No casting news or premiere dates yet, but scripts are in the works. The half-hour comedy "My Best Friend's Wedding" will hopefully air on ABC in 2017.
