Angela Basset is headed back to the small screen.

 

 

Following her role in Fox's Karyn Usher (untitled) spy drama pilot last season, she is set to co-executive produce and star in the NBC drama, "Vanishing Point," penned by "Source Code" writer Ben Ripley.

 

The project is described as a character-driven legal franchise revolving around two women. Bassett plays a brilliant yet unsympathetic rainmaker at a powerful NYC law firm, whose world is suddenly and permanently upended by a health issue.
