Hilary Duff is returning to TV.

The actress - who shot to fame in Disney's tween show Lizzie Maguire - has taken some time out of her career recently to focus on her marriage to Mike Comrie and their five-month-old son Luca but is thrilled to have signed a development deal with 20th Century Fox which will see her make her small screen return.

"Ok it's official! Very excited about my development deal with 20th century fox!! t.v. here I come! :) (sic)" she wrote on her Twitter.

According to Deadline, the generous deal states the studio must develop a half-hour episodic sitcom for Hilary, but if it falls through Fox can cast her in another comedy or drama series.
