The actress leads new Netflix series Firefly Lane, an adaptation of the hit novel by Kristin Hannah. On the show, which released a first trailer, the Grey's Anatomy star plays "Tully," an ambitious but lonely TV presenter who reconnects with an old friend.

In the project, produced by Hannah and Heigl herself, journalist "Tully" reunites with her best friend after hitting rock bottom in her life.

Katherine Heigl's new Netflix TV show
Despite having risen to fame with work on Grey's Anatomy, Heigl's career stalled somewhat as she tried to transition to movie stardom.
But Heigl returned to the small screen four years later with a lead role on State of Affairs. She followed that with Doubt before appearing as "Samantha Wheeler" on Suits.
With Firefly Lane, Heigl could continue reviving her career, following a strong run on Suits in 2018 and 2019. IMDb says the show will debut on Dec. 31, 2020, so watch for Firefly Lane later this year!
From bad boy to producer!
