Olivia has been offered the role of "Bitsy Mae" in "Sordid Lives: The Series" and has agreed to reprise her film role, subject to final negotiations. "Bitsy Mae" appears in eleven out of the twelve episodes, with a much more pivotal role than in the film. Olivia will also write music that she will perform in many episodes and sing the familiar "Sordid Lives" theme song during opening credits.

Leslie Jordan ("Brother Boy"), Delta Burke ("Noleta"), Beth Grant ("Sissy"), Ann Walker ("LaVonda"), Rosemary Alexander ("Dr. Eve"), Newell Alexander ("Wardell") and Sarah Hunley ("Juanita") have also been offered their film roles and have agreed to do them, subject to negotiations. The series will also introduce Jason Dottley (from the nationwide tour) as "Ty".

Filming starts in early September. The twelve-episode first season will air on MTV/LOGO in 2008. The series is a prequel to the movie and the play.

Del Shores is writing, directing and executive producing all episodes with Stan Brooks and Damian Ganczewski of Once Upon A Time Films also executive producing.
