LOS ANGELES - "Six Feet Under" writer-producer Jill Soloway has closed deals to develop a show with producer J.J. Abrams ("Lost") and to work on Shonda Rhimes' hit ABC drama "Grey's Anatomy."
Soloway and Abrams already are discussing ideas for a one-hour comedy project, which Soloway will write under a script pact she has inked with Abrams' Bad Robot and Warner Bros. TV.
Soloway also has signed a deal with ABC Studios to join the studio's "Grey's" as a consulting producer for the first 13 episodes of the hit medical drama's upcoming fourth season.
If Soloway's project with Abrams is picked up for a pilot, she will focus on it full time. If not, she will continue on "Grey's" as a co-executive producer for the rest of next season and the following season. She also will develop projects for ABC Studios.
Soloway has focused on features since "Six Feet Under" ended production in 2005. She has two big-screen projects in the hopper: the indie "Tricycle," which she wrote and is attached to direct, and "Pledged" at Paramount Pictures, which she adapted for the screen from Alexandra Robbins' book.
During her three-year stint on Alan Ball's "Six Feet Under," Soloway earned
three best drama series Emmy nominations as part of the show's producing
team.
