To say that it’s been an eventful few years for Tig Notaro would be an understatement. The comedian and actress very publicly battled cancer, recounted everything she went through in a now legendary standup performance at Largo, as well as in the 2015 documentary “Tig” which tells how she faced the disease head on and came out on the other side. Now it’s time for Notaro to step back in front of the camera, and she does just that in the upcoming, Louis C.K. produced Amazon series, “One Mississippi.”

The series is inspired by Notario’s own life, will follow a woman living in Los Angeles who has to return home to Mississippi following her mother’s death, and faces her family, childhood memories and more.
“What I do enjoy about doing the show is I think it could be expected in taking place in Mississippi that the option of being gay and coming out and conflict of family would be an easy way to go,” Notaro said at the Television Critics Association over the weekend. “Luckily, that is not an issue in my life; it’s a non-issue. It’s been an exciting element to present my life in the way that it is where nobody flinches if I have a girlfriend or three.”
“One Mississippi” debuts on Amazon on September 9th.
