The CBS pilot Good Sam casts Sophia Bush as its lead.
The former One Tree Hill and Chicago PD star will play the title character in the medical drama pilot, which marks Bush’s return to the network.
The medical drama centers on Sam (Bush) a gifted heart surgeon, and her relationship with her domineering father, who happens to work in the same hospital.
Second in command to him and always in his shadow, Sam rises to the occasion when he falls into a coma and she takes charge of the department as chief of surgery. Sam comes into her own professionally and personally, however, her world is upturned again after Griff awakens and wants to practice again, even if it means being supervised by his daughter.
Bush’s other television credits include Love, Victor and This Is Us. Her movie credits include John Tucker Must Die, Incredibles 2 and Acts of Violence.
