Drew Barrymoreis heading toward daytime television!
Fresh off of serving as a judge on reality talent competitionThe World’s Best, the actress, 44, is returning to the small screen — but this time, for a talk show.
This week, Barrymore reportedly shot a pilot in New York for a potential CBS daytime talk show, according toVariety.
If the show — which Barrymore is expected to executive produce — moves forward, it will likely be under consideration for the 2020-21 season, the outlet reports.
A rep for Barrymore did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment and CBS had no comment when reached.

This wouldn’t be the first time that Barrymore has considered moving into the daytime television realm, either.
Back in 2016, the star was in discussions with Warner Bros. Telepictures about hosting a talk show, but the project never came to fruition, according toVariety.

News of the pilot comes four months afterSanta Clarita Diet,the Netflix series which Barrymore starred in and executive produced,was canceled following its third season.
“The world has never known a ‘zom-com’ untilSanta Clarita Diet, and we’re indebted to creator Victor Fresco for bringing this idea to Netflix,” Netflix said in a statement of the show, starring Barrymore andTimothy Olyphant, according toThe Hollywood Reporter.
