Small screenSarah Jessica Parker is producing it. Its stars were here this fall to film it. And now, HBO is making it official.
Sources tell Yeas & Nays that the cable network has picked up eight episodes of the series, based on Jessica Cutler's tell-all book of of sex and scandal on Capitol Hill.
The show stars Rachael Taylor (the Aussie actress of "Transformers" fame), Amanda Walsh (who's appeared in "Disturbia" and "Sons & Daughters") and Bitsie Tulloch as young D. C.-ites. The actresses joined Parker in November for shooting outside the Treasury Department building, in front of the Old Ebbitt Grill, at The Diner in Adams Morgan and Ben's Chili Bowl, among other locations.
HBO's offices are closed for the holidays, and no one there could be reached for comment.
