Kevin Kline has signed on to star in an hour-long HBO TV series, which is currently in development at the network, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The actor will also executive produce the show, which boasts Proof‘s David Auburn as a writer. The series will follow a doctor who attempts to begin a new life after ending his 15-year stint in prison for murdering his mistress.

It was worth a try, but alas… it didn’t work.”

A source at ABC tells EW that no official decision has been made. Check back with EW.com for further updates.
