Community and Happy Endings' Hilary Winston has another TV show up her sleeve. Bad Teacher, based on the unexpectedly successful comedy of the same name in 2011, has been garnering cast, and will star the sexy and funny Ari Graynor in Cameron Diaz's role.

CBS announced that the first season will have 13 episodes, and the story will revolve around the well-known "inappropriate, fearless and unapologetic former trophy wife who masquerades as a teacher in order to find a new man after her wealthy husband leaves her penniless."

Ryan Hansen, David Alan Grier, Sarah Gilbert, and Kristin Davis will join Graynor in the series. Though many doubt if the movie-adapted series will succeed, CBS is possibly doing its best to find a replacement for the popular How I Met Your Mother, which could very likely end after next season.

Recently, Ari Graynor starred in R-rated For A Good Time Call. Lauren Miller, writer and co-star, of the film sent her a letter, praising her as "one of the only people out there who could be both sexy and vulnerable and funny all at the same time."

Additionally, she is seen in the film "The Guilt Trip" and the popular Sci-Fi series "Fringe."

The series also features Kristin Davis from Sex and the City, who stars as Ginny, a teacher for History and Choir. Sarah Gilbert will be starring as Irene, an introverted and shy teacher of Drama and English.

The comedy is scheduled to be aired in the 2013-2014 season.
