Maggie Grace cast in CBS drama pilot

Maggie Grace is plotting a return to broadcast TV in a CBS medical drama. The Lost and Taken actress has been cast in Code Black, CBS’ pilot set in one of the busiest ERs in the nation.

Grace plays the ER’s residency director, “a force of nature and a force to be reckoned with.” She joins the recently cast Marcia Gay Harden in the project.

Code Black is described as a medical drama set in the “most notorious ER in the nation where the extraordinary staff struggles in the face of a broken system to protect their ideals and the patients who need them the most.”
