Jennifer Love Hewitt is returning to the small screen for a new series based on her TV movie "The Client List."
 
The star portrayed a mother forced to turn to prostitution to pay her bills for the 2010 Lifetime network film, and it's now set to be extended for a weekly show.
 
Hewitt begins shooting the program in January and so the busty brunette has decided to avoid over-indulging during the holidays so she'll be in tip-top shape for her sexy scenes.
 
She tells People.com, "I will be in lingerie a lot, so I'll be working out. I will not be eating for the holidays."
 
Hewitt's last regular starring role on a TV series ended in 2010 when "The Ghost Whisperer" was cancelled after five seasons.
