Edie Falco to Star in Fox Legal Drama Katie Greaves
Edie Falco will headline Katie Greaves, a new legal drama ordered by Fox for the 2027-28 season.
The network has given the project a straight-to-series order, meaning it goes straight to a full series with no pilot made first. Katie Greaves is a working title, so that name may still change. The order was reported exclusively by Deadline.
Falco plays the title role. The series is described as a character-driven legal drama, meaning the focus is on the people as much as the cases.
It centres on an attorney who left the New Hampshire Public Defender's office after a personal tragedy. A public defender's office provides lawyers for people who cannot afford their own. That exit point sets up where her story restarts.
The series was written by Sharr White. He also serves as showrunner, the writer in charge of day-to-day creative decisions and the writers' room. A writers' room is the team that scripts the series together.
It comes from White with Scott Free Productions and Fox Entertainment Studios. Executive producers are White, Falco, Ridley Scott and David W. Zucker. Fox Entertainment Studios produces the series, while Fox Entertainment Global handles worldwide distribution, meaning sales outside the United States.
Katie Greaves is the second new scripted series Fox has set for 2027-28. The first was the comedy Mammoth. Scripted here means comedy and drama series, as opposed to unscripted shows such as reality or game shows.
The order follows months of development. In January, Katie Greaves was named as one of three drama frontrunners at Fox, alongside The Interrogator and Blood Ties. The Interrogator moved first. It received a green light in February for the 2026-27 season, which starts a year earlier.
Fox Television Network is led by president Michael Thorn.
For viewers, this means a wait. A 2027-28 premiere places the show in the US broadcast season that begins in autumn 2027. That time will be used to cast the ensemble, build the crew and shoot the first season.
The report details no other casting beyond Falco. No exact premiere date within the season was given.
