Matt LeBlanc<\/strong> is planning a return to TV with a potential cop show on CBS.<\/p>\n

The network confirmed on Wednesday, April 15, that they ordered a development room for a cop series titled Flint<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe show is about a burnt-out LAPD detective on the verge of retirement, who\u2019s blindsided when the city extends his service by five years,\u201d CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach<\/strong> told reporters. \u201cDetermined to get fired, he breaks rules and disobeys orders, which, to his dismay, makes him an even better cop.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reisenbach called the potential show, which is being executive produced by LeBlanc, a \u201csmart, character-driven premise that has a really distinctive tone.\u201d If the show is picked up to series, Flint would film in Los Angeles but the earliest it would air would be during the 2027-2028 TV season.<\/p>\n

Flint would also mark a major TV show return for LeBlanc, 58, following a six-year break. He previously rose to stardom playing the lovable Joey Tribbiani<\/strong> on 10 seasons of NBC\u2019s Friends<\/em>. He then appeared on the short-lived spinoff titled Joey<\/em>, which ended in 2006.<\/p>\n

LeBlanc\u2019s most recent TV project was Man With a Plan<\/em>. Before its conclusion in 2020 after a four-season run, LeBlanc reflected on why he prefers a multicamera sitcom format.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a family and the hours are shorter. I like the work week of a multicam; you rehearse all week and then shoot in front of a live audience,\u201d he said in a 2016 interview shortly before wrapping up his run on Episodes. \u201cIt\u2019s like being part of an ensemble theater company.\u201d (He shares a daughter with ex Melissa McKnight<\/strong>.)<\/p>\n

LeBlanc isn\u2019t the only big name starring on a possible new cop show. It was previously announced that Milo Ventimiglia<\/strong> found his next leading role in a pilot for a series titled American Blue<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe fall 2026 lineup is going to look a little different for CBS after some shows went through surprising changes. CBS announced its schedule on Wednesday, April 15, with viewers noticing some substantial changes. Ghosts, Matlock and NCIS: Sydney received a shakeup by having their premieres moved to 2027 for midseason. They will join the [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ventimiglia, 48, is teaming up with director David Ayer<\/strong> on a show for HBO Max. The one-hour drama is written by Jeremy Carver, who is an executive producer alongside Brian Udovich <\/strong>and Neil Reynolds<\/strong>. Ventimiglia, meanwhile, serves as co-executive producer.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmerican Blue will take audiences inside a gritty and authentic police drama, reflecting the myriad challenges in policing today,\u201d HBO Max\u2019s Head of Original Programming Sarah Aubrey said in a January statement. \u201cAs with The Pitt, our goal of longer seasons will allow viewers to sink deeply into this world across multiple episodes and to return to it on an annual basis. We can\u2019t wait for Jeremy Carver\u2019s vision for American Blue to come to life with Milo Ventimiglia in the lead role and David Ayer directing our pilot.\u201d<\/p>\n
