Bad Teacher to CBS: Movie gets TV Series after CBS cancels CSI: New York, Made in Jersey, Rules of Engagement and Vegas

"Bad Teacher", a TV series based on the movie of the same name, has been picked up by CBS.

The announcement of the addition of the new series comes after the network's new fall TV schedule was announced last week.

The series will star Ari Graynor, who will take on the role that was played by Cameron Diaz in the movie. According to CBS, the character is an "inappropriate, fearless and unapologetic former trophy wife who masquerades as a teacher in order to find a new man after her wealthy husband leaves her penniless." The series will also star Ryan Hansen, David Alan Grier, Sarah Gilbert and Kristin Davis.

"Bad Teacher" is a 2011 comedy film based on a screenplay by Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, and starring Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake, and Jason Segel.

The TV series will debut in the 2013-2014 television season with CBS Studios and Sony Pictures Television.

CBS cancelled the following shows for the next season: "CSI: New York", "Golden Boy", "Made in Jersey", "Rules of Engagement", "Partners", and "Vegas".

"CSI: New York" has been running for a total of nine seasons before the network decided to pull the plug after increasingly lower ratings.
