Bravo Premieres Season 2 of GIRLFRIENDS' GUIDE TO DIVORCE Tonight

Bravo Media's first original scripted series GIRLFRIENDS' GUIDE TO DIVORCE, from Universal Cable Productions (UCP), returns for a sophomore season tonight, December 1st at 10pm ET/PT.

Created and executive produced by Marti Noxon, the series follows self-help writer Abby McCarthy (Lisa Edelstein) as she navigates being single once again in her 40s. This season, as a new chapter in Abby's professional life seems promising, her personal life remains chaotic and all-consuming as her adventures in dating become even more unpredictable.

When she becomes 'the face of divorce' for chic lifestyle website SheShe, Abby is once again forced to live a lie hiding her complicated relationship with estranged husband Jake (Paul Adelstein). But as Abby finds success preaching the pros of divorce to her readers and portraying a fabulous single life on social media, she is torn over whether her marriage is worth saving or if she should chart her own course. Throughout Abby's ups and downs, the one constant in life remains her incredible girlfriends. While Delia (Necar Zadegan) grapples with following the rigid traditions of getting married, Phoebe (Beau Garrett) tries to leave her demons in the past as she looks to find her true self and Jo (Alanna Ubach) deals with her ex-husband and his new wife encroaching on her new LA life.

Joining the cast this season is Retta ("Parks and Recreation") playing Barbara, a rival editor at SheShe who is less than thrilled with Abby's optimistic approach to divorce, Megan Hilty ("Smash") as Charlene, a southern belle who is married to Jo's ex-husband Frumpkis, played by Maury Sterling, and Mark Valley as confident and charming TV personality Dr. Harris, who pursues Abby. Carrie Fisher returns as Abby's book agent Cat. Barry Bostwick and Lesley Ann Warren guest star as Abby's parents George and Dina.

"Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce" maintained strong momentum throughout its run growing 11 percent among P18-49 and 9 percent among P25-54 from the first half to the second half of the season. The series averaged 829,000 P25-54 and 749,000 P18-49, up 14 percent and 8 percent respectively versus the average freshman scripted series on cable. Rated #1 amongst upscale viewers, "Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce" was Bravo's second most-watched freshman series to launch in 2014 (P2+).
