The Four Weddings and a Funeral star will portray the character who is further described as ‘eccentric, passionate, scrappy, and unabashed about her sexuality, which attracts an endless rotation of boyfriends.’ 

Paula appears to be a complex character who is in a ‘constant struggle with her psychological demons – a struggle she has never acknowledged, and often does not win.’

Shameless writer Molly Smith Metzler will serve as showrunner on the series.
