The veteran film actress has officially made the move to television.

Julia Roberts, 49, is set to appear in her first-ever TV series based on Maria Semple's New York Times best-selling novel, Today Will Be Different.

The Pretty Woman star will play the lead in the TV adaptation of the book that was just released this fall, the Daily Mail reports.

Roberts, who has become one of the biggest stars of her generation, is known for blockbuster hits like Notting Hill, My Best Friend's Wedding and Mystic Pizza.

She burst onto the scene in 1990 when Pretty Women became one of the biggest hits of the year and cemented her status as Hollywood royalty.

In fact, in the mid-2000s she was one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood and worked with some of the biggest stars in the industry, including Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Richard Gere, Matt Damon, and Hugh Grant.

The stunning star, who won a Best Actress Oscar for her role as Erin Brockovich in 2000, will lead the cast in the new TV miniseries.
