'The Sopranos' star Edie Falco is set to play the lead role in a new, as-yet-untitled "dark comedy" series on US TV.
The Hollywood Reporter says that US network Showtime is close to agreeing a deal for the series.
Falco's character is a New York nurse who has to juggle a hectic professional life with a challenging personal life.
The actress is among this year's Emmy nominees for her guest star role in the comedy series '30 Rock'.
