CBS announced on Wednesday that it is developing 'Flint', a drama starring Matt LeBlanc in the lead role as a ready-to-retire Los Angeles Police Department detective. The story follows the character, who gets blindsided when the city extends his service by five years. Determined to get fired, he starts breaking rules and disobeying orders, only to become an even better cop in the process, according to the official logline. LeBlanc also serves as an executive producer on the project. The series hails from Evan Katz, the writer behind '24', along with CBS Studios and Jerry Bruckheimer Television. If picked up to series, 'Flint' would join CBS's 2027-2028 primetime lineup.
