Starter Wife is back and this time there’s no expiration date. The former mini-series starring Debra Messing as the loveable divorcee Molly Kagan starts tonight as the latest show on the USA line up.
When we stopped by the set (click here for photos) to talk to Messing and the cast we found out that Molly’s latest children’s book isn’t doing so hot so the sexy single seeks help at a local writing class. With her best friends Rodney (Chris Diamantopoulos) and Joan (Judy Davis) at her side every step of the way, Molly continues to discover her true self and even make a few new friends along the way.
Here’s the scoop on our five favorite things about the new season! 
From Mini-Series to Series: Debra Messing admits she wanted to take five years off after Will and Grace but the chemistry on the set of the mini-series was too much for the star. “It was a very fertile and fun and intimate, creative experience doing this in Australia with [writers Josie McGibbon and Sara Parriott],” Messing says. Now she has the best of both worlds with her son Roman by her side. “When a little child comes on the set everybody sort of lightens up…it puts a smile on even the dourest of faces,” she gushes. “After fourteen hours of work and everyone’s tired and exhausted and then he comes on. It’s a breath of fresh air.”
