Matt LeBlanc has been quite serious about his favorite part of work ethic, which is to do nothing when he gets the chance. Therefore, he is now set to star as a cop in a CBS show who is waiting out his retirement. This will mark LeBlanc's major comeback since rising to fame as Joey in Friends, after which he starred in the spin-off sitcom Joey, which ran for two years. 

Now, he is set to return in a new sitcom, where he will play a cop. And his new character, much like him, developed a bizarre work ethic after things did not go his way.

CBS, under Paramount Global, has recently announced that Matt LeBlanc will star in a new sitcom for the network. In this show, he will step up as a burnt-out LAPD detective who is counting down to retirement until the city extends his service by five more years. What follows is his bizarre attempt to break rules and get fired, but this approach somehow makes him a better cop, turning his plan upside down.

The show, which comes from CBS Studios in association with Jerry Bruckheimer Television, currently has the working title Flint. For the show, the network has also brought in a writing team from Evan Katz, known for 24. LeBlanc, who is set to star in it and could also serve as an executive producer if it moves forward to a full series expected for 2027-2028.

If the idea turns into reality, the show will be LeBlanc’s return to CBS after his last popular sitcom on the network, where he played the role of a contractor.

Matt LeBlanc played a struggling actor, Joey Tribbiani, alongside a star-studded cast and several guest stars in the iconic sitcom Friends. However, in his later CBS sitcom Man with a Plan, he took on a very different challenge. He starred in the show as a contractor who suddenly has to take care of his kids after his wife returns to work, and he quickly realizes that parenting is not as easy as it sounds. 

The sitcom ran for four seasons and featured hilarious and relatable parenting struggles. However, it was eventually canceled in 2020. So, until LeBlanc’s new show arrives, the first two seasons of Man with a Plan, which are available to stream on Paramount+ and Pluto TV, can be binged. Seasons 3 and 4 of the show are available to buy on Amazon Prime and Apple TV.
