George Clooney is returning to television in a producing role.
The Men Who Stare at Goats star and partner Grant Heslov’s Smokehouse Pictures have teamed up with Warner Horizon for the drama pilot Delta Blues which revolves around a quirky Memphis cop by day but Elvis impersonator by night who still lives with mom, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The Clooney and Heslov-executive produced project has been around for a while. TNT added it to its development slate in May 2008.
Although this is the first pilot for Smokehouse, Clooney has produced for TV before: improv series K Street and Unscripted on HBO.
