Halle Berry To Star In HBO Series: Higher Learning

Berry, already an Oscar and Emmy winner, seems poised to hit the small screen this year, as she’s attached to star in a hot spec script titled, “Higher Learning.” Deadline reports that the Dreamworks-produced series is a hot commodity and is being pitched to subscription nets HBO and Showtime, with a pilot pickup imminent.
