Edie Falco Returns to Broadcast TV in New Legal Drama

Edie Falco will lead the new Fox legal drama series "Katie Greaves," scheduled to premiere in the 2027-2028 broadcast season. The series centers on Katie Greaves, a dedicated attorney who left the New Hampshire Public Defender's office following a profound personal loss.

Now raising her two granddaughters with her husband, Katie finds herself drawn back to the legal profession that once defined her. Her return to practice involves cases that challenge her judgment and reaffirm her belief in second chances and advocacy for the overlooked.

Sharr White created the series and serves as an executive producer alongside Falco. Ridley Scott and David W. Zucker are also executive producing through Scott Free. Fox Entertainment Studios produces the series, with Fox Entertainment Global handling international distribution.

Michael Thorn, president of Fox Television Network, praised the creation of Katie Greaves as a "formidable, deeply human" character and expressed excitement for Edie Falco's portrayal of her strength and vulnerability. He highlighted the combined creative talents of White, Scott, and Zucker as key to delivering the network's desired "elevated, visceral character drama."

Falco is celebrated for her Emmy-winning roles in "The Sopranos" and "Nurse Jackie." Her past broadcast television experience includes the CBS drama "Tommy" and the NBC limited series "Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders." Her recent credits span FX's "American Crime Story," Peacock's "Bupkis," and Paramount+'s "Mayor of Kingstown."

Sharr White's previous television work includes "Palm Royale" and "Presumed Innocent" for Apple TV+, "The Affair" on Showtime, and "Sweetbitter" on Starz. He also created the Netflix limited series "Halton." White is also an accomplished playwright, known for "The Other Place" and "Pictures From Home."

The "Katie Greaves" series order is one of several recent pickups by Fox, which also greenlit the comedy "Mammoth" and the Stephen Fry-led drama "The Interrogator" for the upcoming season.
