Elizabeth Hurley to star in E! series ‘The Royals’

Elizabeth Hurley is coming back to the small screen in “The Royals.”

The show, set to be the E! channel’s first original scripted series, will “offer a fictional look behind the very public gilded façade of the palace gates to imagine the private, lush, fun, sexy world of the most-watched celebrity family,” says a statement from E!’s Jeff Olde.

Hurley will play a character called Queen Helena.

“One Tree Hill” creator Mark Schwahn will write, direct and executive produce. The show is slated for 2015.
