TVLine Items: TWD Vet Is Ventimiglia’s TV Sister, Zombies 3 Date and More
Sarah Wayne Callies and Milo Ventimiglia are sibling up: The Walking Dead alumna has joined the ABC drama pilot The Company You Keep, starring This Is Us vet Ventimiglia and Catherine Haena Kim (Good Trouble), our sister site Deadline reports.
In the potential series — based on the Korean format My Fellow Citizens — “a night of passion leads to love between con-man Charlie (Ventimiglia) and undercover CIA officer Emma (Kim), who are unknowingly on a collision course professionally,” per the official synopsis. “While Charlie ramps up the ‘family business’ so he can get out for good, Emma’s closing in on the vengeful criminal who holds Charlie’s family debts in-hand, forcing them to reckon with the lies they’ve told so they can save themselves and their families from disastrous consequences.”
Callies will play Charlie’s big sister Birdie, who is also the co-owner of the bar they run together, which serves as a front for their illegitimate family business.

Which of today’s TVLine Items pique your interest?
Sarah Wayne Callies hasn’t had much success outside of Prison Break and TWD.
.
This will probably last 2 seasons if it even gets renewed.
Yeah as it comes from ABC it will be cancelled fast.
She was on Colony also. I like her as an actress but not interested in this new series.
Yeah and it was cancelled but it lasted longer than some of her other gigs.
Can’t wait for the national parks show. I thought it was given the heave ho. So glad its back.:)
I don’t know if I can handle watching much beloved Jack Pearson as a con-man. Yes, I know Milo is an actor and I’ve watched him in many things over the years, but it might be too soon for me.
