Cameron Diaz is ready to get “Bad” again. The actress has signed on as a producer for CBS’s series adaptation of her 2011 film Bad Teacher, which starred Diaz as Elizabeth Halsey, an individual familiar with the move told TheWrap on Thursday.

The series will star Fringe actress Ari Graynor as Meredith Davis, a hot, confident, unapologetic trophy wife who takes a job at a middle school to meet a new man after her husband leaves her without a dime. Sex and the City alum Kristin Davis will play Meredith’s nemesis Ginny, a math teacher, choir director and faculty president.

Bad Teacher is being produced by Sony Pictures Television in association with Mosaic Media Group. “My Name Is Earl” and “Community” veteran Hilary Winston is executive-producing. Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, who were behind the film, are executive-producing as well, along with Jimmy Miller, Sam Hansen and Michael Lasker.

The series will premiere mid-season. (Source)

Cameron Diaz’s hit comedy Bad Teacher is getting a sequel. Sony Pictures has given Bad Teacher 2 the green light.

Filmmaker Jake Kasdan, who took charge of the 2011 movie, will return to direct the follow-up, although it is not yet known if Diaz will reprise her role as an alcoholic, drug-taking school teacher for the second installment.

The original release, starring Jason Segel and Diaz’s ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake as the actress’ geeky onscreen crush, grossed $216 million worldwide and has since inspired a TV sitcom based on the film. (Source)
