At the start of 2017, the actress was seen deleting all her existing posts on Instagram in what her manager Scott Carlsen described as a period of change.

He exclusively told Dailymail.com of the sudden action: 'Lohan is in a period of renewal and has been making positive changes in her life.'

The actress herself then went on to voice her high hopes for the year - no doubt already knowing about her big TV break - by adding: 'I am so excited for this new chapter in my life!'

It has almost been ten years since Lindsay was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol, and then again for the possession of cocaine in July of the same year.

However after removing herself from the showbiz world completely, Lindsay is now making her return after a full transformation - having turned her recent attention to a number of philanthropic projects in Syria and Turkey.

Lindsay recently spoke to Good Morning Britain to admit that she has finally found a sense of 'solace' in her life, after hitting the milestone age of 30 and embracing her spiritual side.

She explained last month: 'Studying the Koran is something I found solace in, a religion where I found a lot of peace.'

'I have reached inside and I found what I want my intentions to be in the world... focusing on taking control of what I want out of life.' 

As well as the new TV series, Lindsay will also star in the upcoming horror-crime film The Shadow Within, with her revealing of the flick: 'It shows how you can find love in the darkest places.'

While the coming year is looking bright, Lindsay is no doubt happy to say goodbye to 2016 - which was a somewhat tumultuous year for actress.

She called off her engagement to 23-year-old businessman Egor Tarabasov, just a few months after the Russian investor asked for her hand in marriage, amid claims of physical harm and financial greed.  

In October, things worsened when she had her ring finger partially ripped off in a fishing accident in Turkey.

However, a friend luckily managed to get hold of the missing part, allowing it to be secured back on by a plastic surgeon.
