Bowen in "Modern Family"

Julie Bowen is eyeing her return to the small screen. The Emmy-winning “Modern Family” alumna has signed a first-look deal with Universal Television for her production company, Bowen & Sons, and is set to topline the first project under the pact, a single-camera comedy. Currently untitled, the potential series has received a put pilot commitment from NBC. Deadline broke the news.

Should the series move forward, Bowen will star as Lulu Wallace, who, “after losing her PR business in a messy divorce, returns home for the first time in a decade to lick her wounds and help her father, an aging magician, save the storied Magic Manor from the brink of cancellation.”

Bowen is among the project’s exec producers.

“Julie is an exceptionally talented actress and producer who has captivated audiences across the globe,” said Erin Underhill, President, Universal Television. “Her comedic wit, charisma, and passion are infectious, and we have high hopes for her new magic infused family comedy at NBC. I have no doubt our partnership with Julie and her terrific team at Bowen & Sons will be a fun journey and prosperous venture.”

Best known for her portrayal of Claire on 11 seasons of “Modern Family,” Bowen’s other credits include “Life of the Party,” “Boston Legal,” and “Lost.”
