Ray Romano is looking to return to television, this time on the drama side.
The former Everybody Loves Raymond star has reteamed with the show's writer-producer Mike Royce on a drama project, titled Men of a Certain Age, that has gotten a pilot pickup at TNT.
Romano, who will star in the hourlong pilot, wrote the script with Royce. He also will executive produce with Royce, who will serve as showrunner. Romano and Royce's managers -- Rory Rosegarten and Cary Hoffman, respectively -- also are exec producing.
"Men" is described as a character-based project that will take a wry look at what it means to be a guy approaching midlife while also exploring the bonds of male friendship, all through the eyes of three college buddies who are in their 40s.
Romano will play Joe (Romano), a friendly, slightly neurotic, divorced father of two who had dreams of being a pro golfer but instead owns and runs a party store.
