Will “X-Files” star Gillian Anderson be returning to television?
According to TV Guide, the actress will star in an untitled pilot for NBC, in which she will play a CEO named Meg Fitch whose daughter and daughter’s classmates are taken prisoner. The show itself, which will be produced and written by Rand Ravich with Far Shariat, will center on a vast conspiracy that comes to involve some of the most powerful people in Washington, D.C.
Actress Rachael Taylor of ABC’s “666 Park Avenue” will star on the show as Susie Dunn, an FBI agent who is Meg’s sister and who is in charge of the operation to find her niece and her niece’s classmates. Before the kidnapping, Fitch and Dunn were estranged because of a secret that lies between them.
Taylor also starred on the ABC remake of “Charlie’s Angels” as Abby Sampson, one of the titular Angels, and guest-starred on the ABC medical drama “Grey’s Anatomy” as Dr. Lucy Fields.
