NIA LONG SNAGS A NEW STARRING ROLE COMING BACK TO TV IN A NEW SERIES

Having a great year, Actress Nia Long is coming to WeTV. But unlike the channel’s other women of color, Nia will not be starring in a reality series, but rather a newly announced drama series.

Via press release, Nia will be starring in “The Divide,” an original drama set to make its debut in early 2014.

The original scripted series is the brainchild of Emmy/Oscar nominated writer Richard LaGravenese and Scandal star Tony Goldwyn.  Nia has been cast in the role of Billie Page, the hard charging wife of District Attorney Adam Paige, played by talented character actor Damon Gupton.

Nia’s last television appearance was in the Showtime original series “House of Lies,” alongside Don Cheadle and “Love Jones” co-star Larenz Tate.

Although The Divide has reportedly began filming in Toronto, no word has been released on when the show will air.  

also as previously reported, Nia can also be seen starring in Tyler’s Perry upcoming “Single Moms Club,” due out in March of next year.
