Starz has ordered a 13-episode television series inspired by The Girlfriend Experience, a 2009 drama pivoting around a high-priced escort who provides companionship along with coital favors. Variety writes that the upcoming anthology will consist of half-hour installments, and will be written and directed by Lodge Kerrigan and Amy Seimetz. Variety also writes that The Girlfriend Experience may explore the fact that such work is not exclusively the province of women.
