GCB[1] (also known as Good Christian Bitches and Good Christian Belles) is an American comedy-drama television series developed by Robert Harling, produced by Darren Star, and starring Kristin Chenoweth, Leslie Bibb, Jennifer Aspen, Miriam Shor, Marisol Nichols, and Annie Potts. Based on the semi-autobiographical 2008 novel Good Christian Bitches by Kim Gatlin, the series centers on a recently widowed woman who moves her family back to the upscale Dallas-area town where she grew up.

The series debuted on ABC as a mid-season replacement for Pan Am in the 2011–12 television season,[2] on March 4, 2012.[3] On May 11, 2012, both series were canceled by ABC. In its series finale, GCB drew 5.6 million viewers.[4][5]

A reboot of the series, also titled Good Christian Bitches, was greenlit by The CW in November 2018.[6][7]
