Ashley Judd is close to starring in an upcoming series on ABC, according to a number of media reports.

According to the account in Deadline.com, "The project, from feature writer Greg Poirier, was once slated for summer but now eyes a fall launch, with early September as a possibility. "Missing," whose premise somewhat echoes the Liam Neeson starrer "Taken," centers on Becca Winstone (Judd), a devoted single mom who, after her 18-year-old son disappears in Italy where he’d been working on architecture fellowship, takes it upon herself to travel to Europe and track him down."
