The Good Wife writer Ted Humphrey is penning the pilot, which is based on an Israeli series.
Potter is best known to TV fans for her six seasons as cancer-stricken mom Kristina Braverman on NBC’s Parenthood. (And just like her new character, Kristina ran for office, too!) She’s just the latest Parenthood alum to land a new role this pilot season: Lauren Graham is headlining the Fox comedy Linda From HR, Mae Whitman has signed up for NBC’s drama Good Girls, Jason Ritter will star in ABC’s dramedy The Gospel of Kevin and Craig T. Nelson has joined the cast of the ABC sitcom Raised by Wolves.
