The CW is going to medical school with "HMS," an ensemble drama from "Mystic Pizza" writer Amy Holden Jones.

The project, about a group of bright students at Harvard Medical School, marks the producing debut of "Heroes" star Hayden Panettiere, who is attached as co-executive producer.

Jones is the writer-executive producer on the drama, said to have a younger "Grey's Anatomy" vibe to it. The project, in development, hails from Warner Bros. TV.

Jones first developed "HMS" for the WB Network during the 2004-05 development season. Her script recently was brought to the attention of CW brass, who are looking to launch a medical drama franchise.

In addition to "HMS," WME-repped Jones is working on "Mystic Pizza: Another Slice," a two-hour backdoor pilot in development at Lifetime based on the 1988 film she co-wrote.

Panettiere is with WME and Brookside.
