Hulu is developing a new drama series titled “Not a Sound,” with Ellen Pompeo attached to star and David E. Kelley producing. Variety and Deadline report the project is in development at Hulu, with Kelley’s involvement described as part of his slate of series work alongside Pompeo.
The series is based on Heather Gudenkauf’s novel, “Not a Sound,” according to Variety. Variety also characterizes Pompeo’s role as a disgraced ER nurse. Deadline places the announcement in the context of Pompeo’s and Kelley’s prior careers, referencing the transition from Kelley’s “Boston Legal” to the early broadcast run of “Grey’s Anatomy.”
Across outlets, the main emphasis differs: Deadline frames the collaboration as a later reunion between Pompeo and Kelley, while Variety focuses on the premise and Pompeo’s character description. TVLine similarly centers on Pompeo’s next role and the project’s Hulu and Kelley connection. No premiere date, additional cast, or production timeline is reported in the provided excerpts.
