Edie Falco could be returning to TV. According to Deadline, the Emmy-winning “Sopranos” and “Nurse Jackie” actress will star in CBS police drama pilot “Tommy.” The project follows Abigail “Tommy” Thomas, a former high-ranking NYPD officer who becomes the LAPD’s first female Chief of Police. Kate Dennis (“GLOW”) is set to direct.

Described as “tough and sarcastic,” Tommy is passionate about her work and “loves being a cop more than anything,” the source details. “Tommy” will see the titular character using “her unflinching honesty and hardball tactics to navigate the social, political, and national security issues that converge with enforcing the law” at her new job.

Paul Attanasio (“Bull”) created the project and Amblin TV is producing.

Falco is the only person to win both best comedy actress and best drama actress awards at the Emmys. She took home prizes for playing a drug-addicted healthcare professional in “Nurse Jackie” and a complicit mob wife in “The Sopranos,” respectively. Falco has also nabbed Emmy nods for portraying real-life defense attorney Leslie Abramson in “Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders” and C.C. Cunningham, a liberal foil/love interest to Jack Donaghy, in “30 Rock.”

Her recent credits include “The Land of Steady Habits,” “Outside In,” and “Megan Leavey.”

A veteran TV director, Dennis has helmed episodes of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” “The Mindy Project,” and many other series. She directed HBO pilot “Run,” from “Fleabag’s” Phoebe Waller-Bridge. The thriller centers on a family woman who receives a text reading “run” from an ex. It’s the code for a pact they made long ago: that they would disappear together if need be.
