Nicole Richie is coming to network television.

On Monday night, the former reality star and fashion designer took to her personal site to announced that she is gearing up to star in comedy for ABC. The star — who penned the semi-autobiographical novel The Truth About Diamonds — explained that her comedy “revolves around a young, modern and professional woman who must balance her business and family relationships.”

“I am so excited to announce that I am officially working on a television project,” Nicole wrote on her official website overnight. “I am creating a half hour scripted comedy for ABC in which I will be starring in, as well as producing.”

“She must deal with, and navigate the many ideas of what a woman’s role is: modern vs. traditional,” Nicole continued adding that she has been extensively researching to prepare for her new role.

Nicole starred in several seasons of reality show The Simple Life alongside Paris Hilton and has made cameo appearances on shows like Chuck. But the star revealed she has been doing some homework to prepare for her new role on the still-untitled series.

“Lately, I have been surrounded by many different women of all ages and walks of life. It amazes me to watch and observe how many different ideas there are about what a woman’s role should be in this era,” Nicole continued. “I’ve taken these fascinating ideas, and compiled them into something that I think will be very special (and funny!). We’re still in the very early stages and I can’t wait to share more with you soon!”

No details on when Nicole’s sitcom will debut.
