Edie Falco Lands New Show
FOX has greenlit Katie Greaves (working title), a new character-driven legal drama starring four-time Emmy, two-time Golden Globe, and five-time SAG Award winner Edie Falco (The Sopranos, Nurse Jackie, Mayor of Kingstown) in the title role. Slated for the network’s 2027-28 season, the series comes from FOX Entertainment Studios, acclaimed writer and executive producer Sharr White (Presumed Innocent, Palm Royale, The Affair), and Ridley Scott and his Scott Free Productions (The Martian, Thelma & Louise, The Good Wife, The Man in the High Castle), the celebrated film and television company founded by Ridley and Tony Scott.
Falco stars as Katie Greaves, 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 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. 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,” said Michael Thorn, President, FOX Television Network. “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 a four-time Emmy Award winner, two-time Golden Globe Award winner and five-time Screen Actors Guild Award winner whose acclaimed career spans television, film, and stage. She is best known for two of television’s most celebrated performances: Carmela Soprano in HBO’s landmark The Sopranos, for which she won three Emmys, two Golden Globes and three individual SAG Awards, and the title role in Showtime’s Nurse Jackie, which earned her an additional Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. Her television credits also include Mayor of Kingstown; Oz, Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders; Impeachment: American Crime Story; and 30 Rock. On stage, Falco received a Tony Award nomination for the Broadway revival of The House of Blue Leaves, and recently starred Off Broadway in The True and Morning Sun. Her recent film work includes Avatar: The Way of Water and Avatar: Fire and Ash; I’ll Be Right There; Outside In; The Land of Steady Habits; and The Parenting. Falco is represented by CAA and Entertainment 360.
