Matt LeBlanc Returns to CBS with New Cop Drama 'Flint' Set for 2027

CBS is working on a new police drama that could bring Matt LeBlanc back to the network. The show, currently called 'Flint,' would star the former 'Friends' actor as a tired LAPD detective ready to retire.
According to the official description, LeBlanc's character gets surprised when the city forces him to keep working past his planned retirement date. The show is still in early development, meaning CBS hasn't officially ordered it yet.
If CBS moves forward with 'Flint,' it would be part of their 2027-2028 TV season lineup. This would mark LeBlanc's return to CBS after his previous show 'Man with a Plan' ended its run on the network.
LeBlanc became famous playing Joey Tribbiani on 'Friends' and later starred in the HBO comedy 'Episodes.' His CBS sitcom 'Man with a Plan' ran for four seasons before getting cancelled.
This marks LeBlanc's return to CBS after his sitcom 'Man with a Plan' was cancelled. Cop shows remain popular on CBS, and LeBlanc's name recognition could help draw viewers to the network's lineup.
CBS will decide whether to officially order 'Flint' for their 2027-2028 season. More casting and production details should emerge if the network greenlights the show.
