CBS Sets Development Room for 'Flint,' a Matt LeBlanc Cop Drama

The order funds a writers room without a series greenlight.

Overview

  • The network, which revealed the plan Wednesday at a Los Angeles press briefing, targeted the 2027–2028 season as the earliest possible debut.
  • The working logline casts LeBlanc as a burned-out LAPD detective who tries to get fired after a forced five-year extension and unexpectedly improves at the job.
  • The series is from writer Evan Katz with CBS Studios and Jerry Bruckheimer Television, with LeBlanc, Jerry Bruckheimer, and KristieAnne Reed set as executive producers.
  • The role would mark LeBlanc’s return to CBS and a move from recent comedy projects to a dramatic lead.
  • A development room pays writers to generate scripts before any pilot or series order, and CBS unveiled this step alongside I Know Who You Are and Hilda! In Lights as part of its year-round slate.
