The O.C. alumna Rachel Bilson will reunite with the show's creator-executive producer Josh Schwartz this pilot season after all. Bilson is close to a deal to star in the CW hourlong pilot
Hart of Dixie, from WBTV and Schwartz and Stephanie Savage's Fake Empire. The project is a comedic drama centered on a young New York City doctor (Bilson) who inherits a medical practice in a small Southern town inhabited by an eclectic and eccentric group of characters
. Leila Gerstein penned the script and is exec producing with Schwartz, Savage and Len Goldstein. Earlier this development season, Bilson was attached to star in
Ghost Angeles, a supernatural romantic comedy co-written by Schwartz. The project
landed at NBC in September with a pilot production commitment, but new NBC chief Bob Greenblatt recently
opted not to go forward with it. Bilson has done arcs on Schwartz's NBC dramedy
Chuck and on CBS'
How I Met Your Mother, on which she played a love interest for Ted Mosby (Josh Radnor). Hart of Dixie expands Schwartz and Savage's relationship with the CW where the two created and executive produce
Gossip Girl. Source: http://www.deadline.com/2011/02/rachel-bilson-to-star-in-cw-pilot-hart-of-dixie/
