CBS has ordered a TV show pilot for Bull. The drama is based on the early years of Dr. Phil McGraw‘s career as a trial consultant.

Homicide creator Paul Attanasio is writing with McGraw. Jay McGraw, Justin Falvey, and Darryl Frank will executive produce.

From The Hollywood Reporter:

Paul Attanasio (House, Showtime‘s failed The Vatican pilot) will pen the script with McGraw. The duo also will executive produce alongside McGraw’s Stage 29 Productions and the talk-show host’s son, Jay McGraw, as well as Amblin Television’s Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank.

The McGraw pilot expands his relationship with CBS. He renewed his talk-show deal with CBS Television Distribution for an additional three years back in the fall, taking it through at least 2020. Dr. Phil has been the No. 1 daytime talk show since Oprah Winfrey‘s retirement.
