(Gibson) In addition to her guitar work with seminal Olympia, Washington rock act Sleater-Kinney, Carrie Brownstein's also been a major player in television over much of the last decade. Portlandia, the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning TV show she stars in and co-writes with Fred Armisen is sliding into its eighth and final season this year. She's also essayed a role in the critically-acclaimed drama Transparent as well as made appearances on The Simpsons, and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Now, as Portlandia wraps up, Brownstein's set to begin work on her next TV project, a half-hour pilot for Search and Destroy.

However, she wouldn't specify a timeline, saying, "we're going to do this very slowly".
