Is actress Katherine Heigl headed back to TV?
According to sources,聽Heigl is bringing a possible drama program around to networks to gauge interest. The show would star and be produced by the 鈥淕rey鈥檚 Anatomy鈥 actress and the pilot would be written by Alexi Hawley, who served as a writer and producer on the ABC show 鈥淐astle鈥 and wrote and served as supervising producer for the ABC show 鈥淏ody of Proof.鈥
The show's content is currently unknown, but writer Gary Levin wondered if the program might be a procedural, considering Hawley鈥檚 background.
If a network snagged the show, it would most likely be a contender for the 2014-2015 TV season.
Heigl is still best known for her breakout role as Dr. Izzie Stevens on the long-running ABC drama 鈥淕rey鈥檚 Anatomy,鈥 on which she starred from 2005 to 2010. Before then, she starred on the 1999 TV show 鈥淩oswell.鈥澛
