Josh Holloway may be returning to series television.

The "Lost" alum has been cast as the lead in the CBS drama pilot "Intelligence," according to Deadline. Holloway will play Gabriel Black, a former Navy SEAL and intelligence officer who becomes the focus of a new unit of U.S. Cyber Command after a microchip giving him full access to the electromagnetic spectrum is implanted in his brain.

The series comes from writer Michael Seitzman ("North Country"), who will executive-produce alongside David Semel and Tripp Vinson. Semel ("American Horror Story: Asylum," "Homeland") is also on board to direct the show's pilot episode.

Seitzman based the series on an unpublished novel of the same name by author John Dixon.

Holloway's recent credits include Brad Bird's "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" and a segment of Lifetime's 2011 breast cancer anthology movie "Five."

    Shame his hoped-for big screen career never took off.

    So, Chuck as a drama? Though I wouldn't be surprised if folks in the CBS pilot stable weren't even aware that Chuck once existed.
