Milo Ventimiglia has signed on to star in “American Blue,” a cop drama pilot at HBO Max, with David Ayer attached to direct.
The official logline reads, “Native son Brian ‘Milk’ Milkovich (Ventimiglia) returns to his hometown of Joliet, Illinois, to rescue a beleaguered police force while seeking redemption of his own.”

Ventimiglia is best known for starring as Jack Pearson in “This Is Us,” which ran on NBC for six seasons from 2016 to 2022.
A one-hour drama, “American Blue” is written by Jeremy Carver, who executive produces alongside Brian Udovich and Neil Reynolds.
