NBC Orders Legal Drama Pilot with Archie Panjabi
NBC has given a put pilot order to a legal drama with Archie Panjabi attached to star for the 2019-2020 season, according to Variety.
Panjabi will play a successful LA attorney who leaves her comfortable, coastal bubble to practice law in America's heartland: her home state of Wisconsin. She's forced to confront preconceived stereotypes and realize there's more that unites us than divides us.
The one-hour show was created by Alex Berger, who will serve as writer and executive producer, with Martin Gero also executive producing. In addition to starring, Panjabi will also be a producer on the series.
Panjabi is best known for playing Kalinda Sharma on the critically-acclaimed CBS series "The Good Wife," for which she won an Emmy in 2010.
Last year, Gero and Berger got a put pilot commitment at NBC for a political drama about a female Chief of Staff to a moderate Republican President.
