Hayden Panettiere and The CW: Two great tastes that are female friendly that taste great together.

The “Heroes” actress will make her producing debut as the co-executive producer on “HMS,” a med school drama for the CW.

The ensemble drama by “Mystic Pizza” writer Amy Holden Jones centers on Harvard Medical School students. Jones, who is a writer-executive producer on the project, is also working on a backdoor pilot for Lifetime, “Mystic Pizza: Another Slice.”
