Kristin Chenoweth of ABC's recently cancelled series "Pushing Daisies" has signed on to a new NBC drama.
The Tony Award winner will star in David E. Kelley's new drama "Legally Mad," Variety reports.
According to the trade paper Kristin will star as an attorney named Skippy Pylon who is extremely intelligent, but often gets mistaken as a teenager, and shows some signs of psychosis.
"I've wanted to work with her for a long time," Kelley tells Variety, "and can't wait to reveal her as someone who's completely mad."
Kristin's film 'Four Christmases' also starring Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn is currently in theaters.
