The project tells the story of a controversial Silicon Valley tech titan who opens his own hospital with a nonconventional approach to medicine, THR reports. The pilot will be penned by Parenthood and About a Boy scribe Sarah Watson, who will also executive-produce with Katims and Michelle Lee.

With Parenthood wrapping up after its upcoming sixth season, it's likely that Katims is looking for another show to turn his attention to, in addition to the NBC comedy About a Boy.
