Zooey Deschanel might be a movie star already, but she could be following in her big sister's footsteps and joining a TV series full time.TV Line reports that Deschanel is reportedly in talks to star in the Fox comedy pilot 'Chicks and Dicks,' from 'No Strings Attached' writer Liz Merriwether. The actress would play Jessica, an elementary school teacher who moves in with a group of immature guys after breaking up with her live-in boyfriend.
Nothing's set in stone yet, especially not the title of the show -- that'll probably change if the series ever makes it to air.
Deschanel's sister, Emily, stars on the Fox hit 'Bones.'
Also in contention to star in one of the season's biggest pilots is Rachel Bilson, who is in talks for a lead role in Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage's new show, 'Hart of Dixie.' Bilson would play a New York City doctor who inherits a small Southern medical practice, reports Deadline.
