Paramount Network has given a 10-episode series order to "First Wives Club", a half-hour comedy based on the popular 1996 film from Paramount Pictures.

The film was based on the 1992 book of the same name by Olivia Goldsmith.

The order comes less than two weeks after the network ordered the project to pilot, reported Variety.

The series will follow a group of New York women who band together after their marriages fall apart, and find strength in their sisterhood and a little revenge.

Tracy Oliver, who co-wrote the screenplay for the hit comedy film "Girls Trip," will write and executive produce.

"Tracy Oliver is a brilliant writer and the perfect visionary to bring this unforgettable story from the big screen to the small screen in a fresh and contemporary way," said Keith Cox, president of development and production for Paramount Network, TV Land, and CMT.

The project was originally in development at fellow Viacom network TV Land before moving over to Paramount Network.
