A late entry to the 2022-2023 TV lineup of new shows is The Company You Keep, a crime drama headlined by This Is Us alum Milo Ventimiglia and Catherine Haena Kim. But this cat and mouse game also features a romance between the stars' two characters.

The Company You Keep is based on the Korean Broadcasting System series My Fellow Citizens. Julia Cohen (A Million Little Things, Quantico) and Phil Klemmer (DC's Legends of Tomorrow, Chuck) are serving as executive producers and co-showrunners.

Here is everything we know about The Company You Keep.

How to watch The Company You Keep

The Company You Keep has wrapped up its first 10 episodes on ABC, all of which are now available to stream on Hulu in the US or on ABC.com if you subscribe to a pay-TV or live TV streaming service that carries ABC, like FuboTV, Hulu with Live TV or YouTube TV.

The Company You Keep plot

The series My Fellow Citizens that The Company You Keep is based on is actually considered a comedy, but the new ABC show is going for the more dramatic angle. Here is the official synopsis for The Company You Keep:

"A night of passion leads to love between con man Charlie and undercover CIA officer Emma, who are unknowingly on a collision course professionally. 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."
