TNT has released more details about the cast of KING & MAXWELL, the upcoming series based on the works of David Baldacci.
This brand new private-eye drama features Jon Tenney and Rebecca Romijn as bestselling author David Baldacci‘s popular characters Sean King and Michelle Maxwell. These two aren’t your typical private investigators. Both are former Secret Service agents, and their unique skills – not to mention their razor-sharp chemistry – give them a leg up on conventional law enforcement. Maxwell is a former Olympic athlete who uses her brains, beauty and Beltway connections to solve cases. King’s career in the Secret Service ended when the presidential candidate he was assigned to protect was assassinated, sending him on a downward spiral. Today, King has added a law degree to his arsenal of skills, allowing him to navigate the system in ways a typical private investigator never could. Along the way, King and Maxwell clash over everything, from her garbage-strewn car to his love of wine over beer. King & Maxwell also stars Michael O’Keefe and Chris Butler as F.B.I. Special Agents Rigby and Carter, who clash with King and Maxwell over their less-than-legal methods.
Sean King (Jon Tenney)
A former Secret Service agent and attorney, Sean King is now a private investigator with his friend and partner, Michelle Maxwell. Armed with his charm and quick wit, Sean can talk himself out of almost any situation…usually because he’s forgotten his gun. And while they may differ in style and methodology, Sean is at his best when working together with Michelle.
Michelle Maxwell (Rebecca Romijn)
Also an ex-Secret Service Agent, Michelle Maxwell is as dangerous as she is beautiful. While she may be a bit of a slob with an impulsive streak and a hair-trigger temper, she knows how to handle herself in a tight spot. Despite constantly clashing with Sean over just about everything from pop songs to dating habits, Michelle is the true yin to his yang.
Edgar (Ryan Hurst)
Intimidating-looking, this suspected serial killer is a silent “man-giant” seen chained in his prison cell on a suicide watch. A high-functioning autistic savant with an extraordinary ability to see patterns and numerical sequences, the case takes a surprising turn when Sean King agrees to be his lawyer.
FBI Agent Rigby (Michael O’Keefe)
Gruff, skeptical, and dry, this veteran federal agent is a by-the-book authoritarian who loathes having to deal with private investigators meddling in his crimes scenes. Especially when they’re ex-Secret Service Agents. After Sean and Michelle begin solving case after case, Rigby starts to see them as colleagues… but that doesn’t mean he has to be nice about it.
FBI Agent Carter (Chris Butler)
This FBI agent is Rigby’s junior partner. He actually likes Sean and Michelle and tends to help their investigations, much to the chagrin of Rigby.
KING AND MAXWELL premieres Monday, June 10, at 10 p.m. (ET/PT).
