Meg Ryan signs first major TV role in 30 years

Actress Meg Ryan is set to make a move to television with her first major role on small screen in 30 years.

The "When Harry Met Sally" star has signed on to lead a comedy being eyed by entertainment network Epix, reported Deadline.

The half-hour series, written by Brad Hall, will be a TV adaptation of his short film "Picture Paris," taking the same title. The short that starred Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

The story will focus on a suburban empty-nester, who heads to Paris with her husband, only to find the trip is not quite the dream she anticipated.

Hall will write and direct the project which is being fast-tracked for a straight-to-series order.
