Washington was abuzz last summer with the outing of Valerie Plame, wife of former U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Joseph Wilson, as an undercover CIA agent.

Federal prosecutors are still trying to uncover who leaked Plame's identity to conservative columnist Robert Novak, which he published shortly after Wilson wrote an op-ed piece critical of the Bush administration's justification for war in Iraq.

At least one person in Hollywood has been paying attention to the scandal as well. And, stripped of its nasty political implications, is pitching it as a lighthearted drama at FOX and its sister studio, 20th Century Fox TV.

"It just got me thinking about how amazing it would be to be an ambassador's wife as a cover for a CIA agent," former "Sex and the City" writer Amy Harris tells The Hollywood Reporter.

Harris' premise has the agent's CIA superiors deciding a good cover for her would be to marry an ambassador, and so the two are forced together. Harris is executive producing the project, which has a script commitment, with director Shawn Levy ("Cheaper by the Dozen") and Sean Bailey of production company LivePlanet

"I've always loved caper shows like 'Alias' and 'Remington Steele,' and I was thinking how funny it could be to have two people who don't even know each other forced into the most intimate relationship of all and having to fake it," Harris says.

FOX landed the show after Harris and Co. pitched it to several networks.
