New Courtney Cox Series Premieres January 2

The actress we loved watching on NBC's blockbuster "Friends" is returning to series television for the first time since her award-winning sitcom ended in 2004. The new Courtney Cox series "Dirt" premieres January 2 on the cable network FX.

According to the network press release, Cox will play "Lucy Spiller," the editor-in-chief of two of the country's most widely read tabloid magazines, who controls the fates of the celebrities lining the pages.


Dirt revolves around the dynamic Spiller; a schizophrenic paparazzo uncovering the dirt people love to read; and a struggling actor trying to make a name for himself.



The drama's executive producers are Cox and her husband David Arquette. "Melrose Place" star Grant Show (Jake Hanson) is among the cast members.
