According to reports, the 38-year-old Doctor Who star has been cast as the title character in NBC's Rex Is Not Your Lawyer, marking his US television debut.
The project focuses on Tennant's character, a top lawyer who starts suffering from panic attacks and eventually coaches his clients to represent themselves in court.
The comedic drama will be helmed by David Semel, who directed the pilots of shows including Heroes and Life.
