Katie Holmes to Return to TV in “High Society Drama”

Katie Holmes is set to return to TV in a currently untitled pilot where she will play a high-society New Yorker named Ann.

Described as a "high society drama" by Entertainment Weekly, the show will feature Holmes in the role of Ann, "a well-bred and educated woman who runs a philanthropic foundation with her husband."

The mother of 7-year-old Suri Cruise is also set to star in the highly-anticipated film adaptation of The Giver as the main character Jonas' mother, which comes out this August.
