Martin Lawrence could be making his way back to television real soon. CBS has picked up a new, still-untitled comedy pilot starring the former sitcom actor.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lawrence is set to play the role of a widower and father of two teens. After losing his construction job, he decides to enroll into the police academy to become a cop at the age of 46.
Produced by “$#*! My Dad Says” duo Mike Lisbe and Nate Reger, the show is another test project for the pair. A previous show of theirs, “How to Be a Gentleman,” was pulled shortly after airing this season.
If Lawrence’s show is picked up, this would be his first return to television since his hit show “Martin” ended in 1997.
