The untitled series would follow Holmes as FBI Special Agent Hazel Otis who “is in the midst of investigating a domestic terrorism threat when a personal indiscretion – an affair with a prominent general – shatters her life and threatens her career at the FBI. Now labeled “the mistress,” Hazel Otis – wife, mother, patriot – begins to rebuild her personal life and professional reputation.” It will be written by Chaiken and Melissa Scrivener Love.

The series would mark Katie’s first role as a series regular since her teenage drama series Dawson’s Creek, which ran from 1998-2003. She has had smaller TV credits over the years though including  How I Met Your Mother, Ray Donovan, and The Kennedys miniseries.
