Kathryn Hahn Will Play Joan Rivers In A New Showtime Bio-Series

Kathryn Hahn didnt emerge from Sundays Emmy Awards a winner, but shes already lined up her next high-profile acting role.

The WandaVision actor has signed on to play Joan Rivers in The Comeback Girl, a new limited series produced by Showtime. As Variety reported Tuesday, the series will chronicle Riverss life in the mid-1980s after she was fired from Foxs The Late Show and her husband, Edgar Rosenberg, died by suicide.

Trailblazer. Adored. Cruel. Diva. Joan Rivers had a life like no other, the shows promotion reads, according to TVLine . The awe-inspiring series promises to show how its legendary subject persevered through near suicide and professional abyss to rebuild herself and her career to become a global icon.

Rivers died in 2014 at age 81.

The Comeback Girl will be directed by Greg Berlanti , whose credits include Dawsons Creek and the 2018 gay teen comedy, Love, Simon. Berlanti, Hahn and screenwriter Cosmo Carlson are its executive producers.

Tuesdays announcement drew a mixed response from fans.

Bit of a rubbish day, but to find out that Kathryn Hahn is going to play Joan Rivers has just gone a long way to make up for it, one person wrote . Inject it into my veins. Added another, I am very much here for the Kathryn Hahn renaissance.

Others, however, said theyd hoped to see Rivers, who often emphasized her Jewish identity in her comedy, played by a Jewish actor. The criticism had come up before when the role of Midge Maisel in The Marvel ous Mrs. Maisel, which was partly based on Riverss career , went to a non-Jewish actor.

This is so frustrating. Some of the most iconic Jewish women in history, first RGB, now Joan Rivers, cast non-Jewish actresses to play them. It's not like Jewish actresses are hard to find! https://t.co/wqN7ySTZCV
