Laverne Cox will guest star in Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce.

Laverne Cox (Orange is the New Black) has been tapped to guest star in Bravo's first original scripted series Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce, from Universal Cable Productions (UCP), that will premiere later this year. Cox will play Adele Northrop, a Pulitzer-Prize winning war journalist and LGBT activist who presents an award at a marriage equality gala.

A critically acclaimed actress, producer, speaker and advocate, Cox can currently be seen in Orange is The New Black in the ground breaking role of Sophia Burset, an incarcerated African American, transgender woman. Cox has accomplished many firsts as a trans woman of color, from playing a leading role on a mainstream scripted television show, to producing and starring in her own television show to appearing on an American reality show. Her work as an actress and advocate landed her many accolades including the cover of TIME Magazine, multiple GLAAD Awards, the Dorian Rising Star Award, among others. This fall Laverne will executive produce and host Trans Teen: The Documentary and is also working on a documentary titled Free CeCe.
