LOS ANGELES, Nov. 24 (UPI) -- Scottish singing sensation Susan Boyle is to star in an original one-hour special to air exclusively in the United States on the TV Guide Network.

The world premiere of "I Dreamed a Dream: The Susan Boyle Story" is scheduled for Dec. 13 on ITV1 in the United Kingdom at 9 p.m. GMT. The exclusive North American premiere on TV Guide Network is set for 8 p.m. EST and PST.

"The show will celebrate this extraordinary woman's journey from a small village in rural Scotland to international fame and fanfare following her inspiring performance on 'Britain's Got Talent,' the British reality competition series executive produced by Simon Cowell that rocketed Susan Boyle to super-stardom," TV Guide Network said in a news release.

"Susan Boyle is one of those rare personalities who has captivated millions of fans around the world with her undeniable vocal talent and incredible life story," Ryan O'Hara, president of TV Guide Network and TVGuide.com, said in a statement.
