Ellen Pompeo is looking to scrub up again — but this time, not as Dr. Meredith Grey.
The “Grey’s Anatomy” star is attached to lead a drama series in development at Hulu from “Big Little Lies” and “Boston Legal” creator David E. Kelley.
Titled “Not a Sound,” the project is based on Heather Gudenkauf’s novel of the same name. It follows a disgraced ER nurse, Amelia Winn, who loses her hearing in a devastating hit-and-run accident. When she and her fiercely loyal service dog discover the murdered body of a former colleague, Amelia is pulled into a “deadly mystery that could finally reveal the truth about the accident that changed her life,” according to the description.
