Katherine Heigl is making her return to TV, but not with a new series.

The former 'Grey's Anatomy' actress will produce and star in an HBO movie.

According to Deadline, Heigl and her mother will produce an adaptation of Ann Hood's 'The Knitting Circle.' The project is being written by 'Dirty Sexy Money' creator Craig Wright.

Heigl will play the main character, a mother mourning the loss of her child. She turns to a knitting circle to help overcome the grief that has taken over her life.

This is Heigl's first TV role since leaving ABC's 'Grey's Anatomy' in 2010.
