Calista Flockhart 20 years after Ally McBeal from A-list husband to TV return
It's been more than two decades since comedy drama Ally McBeal concluded with its fifth season, after having made a household name of lead cast member Calista Flockhart.
The actor, now 58, played the titular character in the FOX series, which ran from 1997 until 2002 and focused on the lives of Ally and her colleagues at law firm Cage and Fish.
She received a Golden Globe Award for the role and was nominated on three occasions for a Primetime Emmy Award, with the show itself having won several awards.
Calista has since appeared in projects like Brothers & Sisters, in which she played the character Kitty Walker, who was one of the siblings referenced in the ABC show's title.

Although she hasn't acted on screen since appearing as a guest on the sixth season of Supergirl, Calista is set to make her return to acting in the second season of FX's Feud.

There has been speculation in recent years about Calista reprising her role as the titular lawyer in a revival of Ally McBeal, though there has been no confirmation of that.
However, it was reported last year that an Ally McBeal spin-off was in development at ABC, with it stated at the time that it would have a different character as its lead.
It was reported that the show would follow the daughter of Ally's old roomate Renée Raddick (who was played by Lisa Nicole Carson) who joins the same law firm in Boston.
