Lauren Graham’s “Let It Go”
January 30, 2009 by Arieanna
Hot on the heels of this morning’s post about Lauren Graham’s flopped NBC deal is confirmation about her upcoming ABC series – and its title!
Lauren Graham’s new comedy series, which we talked about here, will be called Let It Go. Lauren Graham stars in the series as a self-help guru who doesn’t take her own advice well when she gets dumped – and becomes obsessed with her ex. She’s unable to ‘let it go’, like she advises.
According to the new report, Lauren’s character is also a talkshow host (not just any old self-help guru!). From Lauren’s interview last week, we know that the character is “deeply flawed” and hard to root for, but the dark comedy is “so wrong it’s right” and made Lauren laugh just reading it.
Alex Herschlag is writer and executive producer for Let It Go, with Mitch Hurwitz, Eric Tannenbaum and Kim Tannenbaum as executive producers. Lauren Graham will serve as producer.

When would this show be starting? I would love to see her back on tv.
I’m not sure if they will have a pilot ready for Fall 2009, but I hope so. Fall is the best timing for launching new shows.
Awesome,I cant wait watch Lauren’s new show come soon.She is very wonderful & bestest comedian actress and talented person,
I think it’s already been said that the new show it sat as a mid season launch, so sometime early in 2010. This makes sense given Lauren just said she’s doing Guys and Dolls for 9 months. And she is doing 8 shows a week so not much time for anything else.
But that said if they can shoot the pilot in NYC while she is doing her Broadway show, then still have a series launch in September, it could work but it would be very tight.
I wouldn’t want either the sitcom or G&D to suffer if she tries to do too much at once.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE HER!!! CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really hope this will be a success!
And you know if ever this show will be a hit, I hope to see some guest stars from the cast of Gilmore Girls
Lauren is such a good guest on talk shows, it will be interesting to see what she brings [even if its an act] from the other side of the table. And since every good talk show needs someone to book the prospective guests, I nominate Liza Weil to be the sarcastic sidekick who mercilessly mocks the people she interviews before allowing them to appear on the show.
well she said in an interview that she was hoping to film the pilot during Guys and Dolls… so maybe by fall we’ll see the show
i hope so, i miss seeing her on TV
I am excited to see Lauren Graham back on T.V!!! Let it Go sounds hilarious! I am so excited to see the pilot episode! Lauren is such an AMAZING actress, she has inspired me in SOOO many ways to take a drama class and not to be scared! I hope this show is a success!
I just watched the pilot. I don’t know who she is, but the show was pretty funny. They are currently test marketing it.
Just saw the pilot and thought it was pretty funny. Jeffrey Tambor is in it, too, and his character is pretty great. Should be a decent show.
Where did you watch the pilot!!??
