David E. Kelley is close to signing one of the largest development deals in television history with Fox Broadcasting Co. and Twentieth Century Fox Television, sources confirmed last week. Kelley, who just won Emmys for The Practice and Ally McBeal, is finishing a contract with Twentieth Century Fox.

Sources say the deal is for five years and will give Fox a first-look option on all future Kelley projects. The deal reportedly will be worth hundreds of millions of dollars to Kelley because of backend deals for syndication rights on future shows. Fox and Twentieth Century Fox executives had no comment.
