LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Scott Foley, who rose to prominence with his role on the WB Network's "Felicity," has signed a development deal with 20th Century Fox TV to star in a series project for the studio.

Under the one-year pact, estimated to be in the mid-six-figure range, the studio will try to develop a half-hour or one-hour project for Foley targeted for next season.

"I want to try to do something that is different and exciting," Foley said.

The deal marks Foley's return to 20th TV following his starring role on the studio's short-lived comedy "A.U.S.A." for NBC last year.

Coming off a recurring role on the NBC comedy "Scrubs," Foley will next be seen in Wes Craven's horror picture "Cursed."
