NBC has nabbed a legal drama starring and executive produced by Gotham‘s Morena Baccarin. The project hails from Tony Krantz and his Flame Ventures, ITV Studios America and former Numbers showrunner Ken Sanzel.
Baccarin is doing the project with the blessing of Gotham producer Warner Bros. TV. She will leave the Fox drama as a regular only if her NBC project goes to series, in which case she will continue on Gotham as a recurring.
Written by Sanzel, the untitled NBC drama, which has a script commitment, is described as “The Good Wife meets The Wire.” It tells the story of Morena (Baccarin), a former police officer turned high-powered attorney who navigates the ever-changing landscape of New York City politics, law enforcement and the justice system, all while juggling a complicated personal life. Morena works for a law firm that defends New York police officers in a wide range of cases.
