Looks like the sort of Kathryn-related news we’ve all been waiting for has finally broken.
Kathryn has, apparently, signed on for a new CBS pilot called Surgeon General. The Surgeon General is appointed by the US Government to over see matters of public health.
British actor Jason Isaacs (Awake and Harry Potter) has the lead role of Dr John Sherman. Kathryn is earmarked to play his Chief Of Staff, Lydia Ferrari. After the recent launch of the new Ferrari hybrid supercar, here on KM UK we will call Kathryn’s character in Surgeon General ‘LaFerrari’ 😉 At this stage it is just a pilot, but it does mean it has passed earlier stages of acceptance regarding the script etc. Depending on how well it ‘tests’ the show could be picked up for the 2013-14 season.
Samuel Baum (creator of Lie To Me) is writing and producing the pilot for CBS TV Studios and CBS Television. Kathryn spent 7 years with CBS in Cold Case. Beth Riesgraf (Leverage) and Katherine McNamara (Kickin’ It) are also set to star as another doctor and Sherman’s daughter respectively.
Rod Lurie is scheduled to direct the pilot, which may further explain Kathryn’s involvement beyond the CBS connection. Kathryn has worked with Rod several times already on films like The Contender and Resurrecting The Champ. In fact for a while Kathryn had had a role in all of Rod’s features.
Fingers crossed (but not too tightly, doctors orders 
) for Kathryn returning to the small screen.

We’ll bring you more when we get it.
Right. I was in my class. Then I checked my twitter and Tracie… And then… I almost cried in front of everyone. And yes, I just needed air. I mean… I still in shock. I’m so happy. Good luck, Morris.
I hope to see Kathryn Morris on TV again. Kathryn was very cute on ‘Cold Case’!
I hope this new series is a drama; Kathryn in my opinion is better in dramas.
Hopefully,it will get good ratings & be on CBS Fall Line,in 2013 & make it past the 1st season blue’s… We will just have to wait & see if, the shows makes it past those rating audiences that view new shows 1st!
Its a process & is there room,for another medical show!!!
