Claire Danes Reuniting With My So-Called Life Creator For New HBO Series

More than three decades after leaving Liberty High School in her rearview mirror, Claire Danes is reteaming with the creator of ABC's My So-Called Life for a new drama series on HBO, our sister publication Variety reports.

Titled The Applebaum Curse, the series is being described as a one-hour drama about a dysfunctional family led by Danes. Holzman would serve as showrunner, executive-producing alongside Danes.

"I am writing something that I'm hoping to do with Claire," Holzman told Variety at the Writers Guild of America Awards. "It's not a reboot in the traditional sense, but I think Claire Danes and I back together would be a kind of version of that. ... It's a completely different story, but we're hopeful that we're gonna work together again. I'm writing it now, and it's hopefully gonna be at HBO, so we'll see. I have to cross my fingers! You never know what's gonna happen, but Claire would love to do this with me, so I'm excited."

My So-Called Life, which ran for just one season on ABC from 1994 to 1995, starred Danes as angsty teen Angela Chase. The ensemble cast of then-newcomers also included Wilson Cruz and Jared Leto, the latter of whom cemented a place for himself in teen TV history as dreamboat Jordan Catalano.

Despite its brief run, My So-Called Life earned four Primetime Emmy Award nominations in 1995. Danes also took home the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series. (Also of note: TVLine ranked My So-Called Life as the second best TV teen drama of all time.)
