Edie Falco to Star in Fox Legal Drama ‘Katie Greaves’

Edie Falco is set to lead the legal drama series “Katie Greaves,” which has been ordered to series at Fox.

The show will premiere during the 2027-2028 broadcast season. The logline for the series states that it centers on the titular Greaves (Falco), who is described as “a whip-smart, fiercely committed attorney who stepped away from the New Hampshire Public Defender’s office following a devastating personal tragedy. Now raising her two young granddaughters with her husband and trying to piece together a life she never expected, Katie is drawn back to the work that once defined her. Each case tests Katie’s instincts, wit, and deeply held belief that everyone deserves a second chance…and someone to fight for them.”

Sharr White created the series and serves as executive producer. Falco executive produces in addition to starring. Ridley Scott and David W. Zucker executive produce via Scott Free. Fox Entertainment Studios produces, with Fox Entertainment Global handling worldwide distribution.

“Sharr has created an extraordinary character in Katie Greaves: funny, formidable, deeply human, and driven to fight for people who might otherwise be overlooked, including her own family,” said Michael Thorn, president of Fox Television Network. “The incredibly talented Edie Falco brings all of that strength, wit, and vulnerability to the screen, and there is no one we’d rather have at the center of this story. Together with Sharr’s singular voice and the incredible creative pedigree of Ridley Scott, David Zucker, and the team at Scott Free, we have exactly the kind of elevated, visceral character drama we want at Fox.”

Falco is best known for her role in the iconic HBO series “The Sopranos,” for which she earned three Emmy Awards. She is also known for her starring role in Showtime’s “Nurse Jackie,” which saw her pick up another Emmy in 2010. She is no stranger to leading a broadcast series, however, having starred in the CBS cop drama “Tommy” and the NBC limited series ““Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders.” Her other recent TV roles include playing Hilary Clinton in the third season of “American Crime Story” at FX as well as appearing in “Bupkis” at Peacock” and “Mayor of Kingstown” at Paramount+.

She is repped by CAA and Entertainment 360.

White has previously worked on shows like “Palm Royale” and “Presumed Innocent” at Apple TV, as well as “The Affair” at Showtime and “Sweetbitter” at Starz. He was the creator of the Netflix limited series “Halton” starring Ewan McGregor. As a playwright, White is known for his works like “The Other Place” and “Pictures From Home.”

He is repped by WME and Schreck Rose.

The “Katie Greaves” pickup is the latest from Fox in recent months. The broadcaster also greenlit the live-action comedy “Mammoth,” while Stephen Fry will lead the drama “The Interrogator” for Fox next season.
