George Clooney is coming back to TV for the first time since his breakthrough role in ER.

This time, Deadline reports, it’s for an adaption of Joseph Heller’s 1961 satire of the U.S. army, Catch 22.

George will play army colonel Cathcart, who raises the ire of his troops at the height of World War II by increasing the number of dangerous missions for combat pilots, reports Marie Claire.

“Cathcart is behind a ridiculous Catch-22 rule, which disqualifies any pilots for service if they’re willing to undertake knowingly deadly missions,” Marie Claire continues. “But the same rule says that any pilot who actually recognizes the danger of such flights and asks to be dismissed is actually of sound mind, and thus fit for service. So everyone’s basically trapped.”

Sounds like a great idea for a show!
