Comedian Amy Poehler is on a roll.

She recently hit a network home run with her Saturday Night Live skit with Tina Fey and landed a starring role in a spinoff series from *The Office. *

Now, she's inked a deal to create a new web series to air this fall.

Called Smart Girls at the Party, Poehler's show is aimed at young women and designed to improve their self-esteem. Episodes will feature interviews with girls who have unique talents and interests, and promises to range from the serious to the hilarious.

Poehler roped in a former senior producer at Nickelodeon to help create the show, which is designed to tap into a largely new arena for digital media: the younger set. Poehler's show is expected to launch in October on On Networks, kicking off a new slate of programming for the digital media hub.

Representatives at On Networks told Wired.com that the show will be available across a variety of platforms, including the web, mobile devices and iTunes.
