Daniel Sunjata co-stars as the detective who partners with Olson’s character, with Deniz Akdeniz, Amirah J, Matthew Lamb and Judy Reyes also starring.
20th Television is the studio (was previously ABC Signature). Todd Harthan executive produces with series creator Drew Goddard and Sarah Esberg of Goddard Textiles, as well as Dan Etheridge and Rob Thomas. Olson also produces.
The series airs Tuesday at 9 p.m. on ABC and streams the next day on Hulu.
