A Midnight, Texas alumna will soon be yelling “stat!” a lot: Parisa Fitz-Henley will star in the ABC medical drama pilot Triage, our sister site Deadline reports.

The actress will play pioneering surgeon Finley Briar over three distinct decades at the same hospital. With the evolution of medicine as the backdrop, the project explores the interconnected careers, friendships and romances of Finley and her colleagues, and their tenuous relationship with time.

Erica Messer (Criminal Minds) will serve as showrunner, if the pilot is ordered to series. Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians) is attached to direct.
