Kiefer Sutherland looks to be headed back to episodic TV as the lead in Touch, a drama pilot from 20th Century Fox TV and Chernin Entertainment.

Sutherland, who starred in Fox’s 24, is in early talks to play a father who discovers his autistic son can predict future events.

The Touch pilot comes from the creator of NBC’s Heroes, Tim Kring, who specializes in primetime dramas about people with extraordinary abilities.
