Jesse Lee Soffer could be heading back to CBS for his next small-screen gig.<\/p>\n

TVLine has confirmed that the Eye Network is developing “Strike Force” (working title), a potential drama series that Soffer \u2014 who most recently held a role on CBS’ “FBI: International” \u2014 would star in and executive-produce.<\/p>\n

Per the official logline, Soffer would play a “battle-tested DEA agent” in the possible project, who “returns home to Kansas City to lead a multi-agency strike force targeting the violent criminals now trying to exploit America’s heartland.”<\/p>\n

Should “Strike Force”\u00a0get picked up to series at CBS, it’s tentatively slated for a spot on the network’s 2027-28 lineup. (In the meantime, here’s\u00a0this TV season’s full broadcast schedule<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Strike Force will reunite Jesse Lee Soffer and Matt Olmstead<\/p>\n

“Strike Force”\u00a0will also serve as a creative reunion between Jesse Lee Soffer and Matt Olmstead, the latter of whom will serve as writer and executive producer on the potential CBS series. Olmstead previously co-created NBC’s “Chicago P.D,”\u00a0on which Soffer starred as Jay Halstead for 10 seasons, and executive-produced CBS’ “FBI: International,” where Soffer played FBI Agent Wes Mitchell during its fourth and final season<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Soffer recently returned to the #OneChicago franchise as Halstead for a three-part crossover event<\/a> in March. His other TV credits include “The Mob Doctor,” “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” and “As the World Turns.”<\/p>\n
