New Development Room Order:
As part of CBS’ year‑round long-term development strategy, the Network has ordered a development room to start writing scripts for FLINT (working title), a drama from Evan Katz (showrunner of “24”), developed in partnership with Matt LeBlanc, who would also star and executive produce pending a series order for broadcast. The project is from CBS Studios and Jerry Bruckheimer Television.
FLINT tells the story of a burnt-out LAPD detective who, on the verge of retirement, is blindsided when the city extends his service by five years. Determined to get fired, he breaks rules and disobeys orders, which, to his dismay, makes him an even better cop.
