Here’s your first look at Showtime’s ‘United States of Tara,’ writer Diablo Cody’s follow-up to ‘Juno.’

In the series, based on an original idea of Steven Spielberg, Toni Collette stars as a wife and mother with multiple personalities -- both male and female. The actress said the pilot script was ‘so well written it’s like a dream job.’

In the opening it is revealed that Tara has just found morning-after pills in her 16-year-old daughter’s Kate’s bag. It’s later revealed that [potential spoiler warning] one of Tara’s alter egos, a burnout teenage stoner named T, was the one who supplied her with said pills.

‘Tara’ premieres in January.
