CBS宣布预订《傲骨贤妻 The Good Wife》的主创Robert及Michelle King负责的超自然题材试映集《邪恶 Evil》,剧中会描述科学及宗教之间的斗争。《邪恶》讲述抱怀疑论的女临床心理学家Kristen Benoist(Katja Herbers饰 演),她与一名受训中的牧师及一名蓝领承包商组成团体,他们会共同调查一些奇迹﹑附魔或其他超自然事件究竟能否用科学解释,还是真正的超自然现象。
《卢克·凯奇 Marvel's Luke Cage》主角Mike Colter饰演被教会指派调查超自然现象是否有科学根据的David Acosta牧师﹑Aasif Mandvi饰演蓝领阶级的木匠Ben,最早被David招募的超自然事件怀疑论者;他本人是个揭穿「闹鬼」事件背后真相的人才,不过在剧中发生的事将动摇他的信念。
《疑犯追踪 Person of Interest》的Michael Emerson饰演Townsend,一个外表风度翩翩﹑看似值得信赖的好人,但其实作为一宗大型凶案的辩护方专家证人的他,可能是黑暗一方的追随者。
Robert及Michelle King过去亦曾为CBS制作了剧集《吃脑外星人 BrainDead》,不过此剧因收视低迷一季被砍。
After her bittersweet success in series one, Karen has been promoted to Detective Inspector and seemingly given the authority she has long been fighting for. Just as she’s getting into the swing of her powerful new role, she is assigned an infamous unsolved case that will put her under intense scrutiny; from her boss, from the media, and ultimately, from sinister forces that would rather the past stayed in the past.
The 1984 case of Catriona and Adam Grant has confounded investigators and intrigued the public like no other. Catriona, the charming young heiress to a vast oil fortune, and her two year old son Adam, were brutally kidnapped at gunpoint outside a fish and chip shop in Fife. The ransom notes that followed stirred up an uncontrollable press storm, but when the culprits fell silent, the police faltered, and Catriona and Adam were never seen again.
Now, a man’s body has been discovered, with indisputable links to the original kidnap. With the first piece of evidence in decades, Karen must assemble an unbeatable team alongside her sincere and lovable sidekick DC Jason ‘Mint’ and the brilliant – but romantically complicated – DS Phil Parhatka. With the international renown of the kidnap and the constant pressure from Catriona’s father, Sir Broderick Grant, the team take on the biggest challenge of their careers to date. As Karen delves deeper into what happened in the autumn of 1984, political grudges and painful secrets reveal themselves, and it soon becomes clear… the past is far from dead.
