Flockhart, famous for her portrayal of conflicted lawyer Ally McBeal (and even more famous for her diminishing weight,) will return to series television in Brothers and Sisters. The drama is described as an adult soap opera centering on adult siblings who must band together to run the family business after the death of their father. Rachel Grffiths of Six Feet Under fame will also star.

Golden Globe winners Rachel Griffiths and Calista Flockhart have been tapped to star in ABC’s drama pilot “Brothers & Sisters.”

The project is a family soap centering on adult siblings.

For Flockhart, the casting marks a return to series television four years after Fox’s “Ally McBeal” went off the air. Her stint on David E. Kelley’s dramedy earned her a Golden Globe Award in 1998 and three Emmy nominations.
