Seinfeld cast member to return to TV with a huge hit, Julia Louis-Dreyfus earned the 2006 Emmy® as Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her portrayal of Christine as well as a SAG and Golden Globe nomination.

A single mom in suburbia, Christine Campbell (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) has more than enough obstacles to tackle on a daily basis. Already dealing with sleeping alone, carpooling alone, raising her son alone and just being alone, Christine finds out that her ex is dating a much younger woman named Christine. Now that's a kick in the self-confidence department. To avoid any confusion, everyone begins calling her Old Christine and the younger girlfriend New Christine. Christine struggles to hold it together as she adjusts to her new nickname, confronts the meanie moms at her son's private school and jumps back into the dating pool. Full of laughs, the sitcom features incredible writing and an exceptional cast including Hamish Linklater, Emily Rutherfurd, Clark Gregg, Alex Kapp Horner, Trevor Gagnon, Tricia O'Kelley and of course Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
