Hayden Panettiere, TV producer
Hayden Panettiere is bringing her famed producing skills to a new CW project. Here's Nellie Andreeva with more...
The CW is going to medical school with "HMS," an ensemble drama from "Mystic Pizza" writer Amy Holden Jones.
The project, about a group of bright students at Harvard Medical
School, marks the producing debut of "Heroes" star Hayden
Panettiere, who is attached as co-executive producer.
Jones is the writer-executive producer on the drama, said to have a younger "Grey's Anatomy" vibe to it. The project, in development, hails from Warner Bros. TV.
Jones first developed "HMS" for the WB Network during the 2004-05 development season. Her script recently was brought to the attention of CW brass, who are looking to launch a medical drama franchise.
In addition to "HMS," WME-repped Jones is working on "Mystic Pizza: Another Slice," a two-hour backdoor pilot in development at Lifetime based on the 1988 film she co-wrote.
Panettiere is with WME and Brookside.
