When Ever Carradine and Kyle Secor last shared the screen on television, both were still series regulars on the presidential drama,
Commander in Chief. More than a year since their once-bright series was yanked off the air, the two actors will come together anew as recurring characters on ABC's new police drama,
Women's Murder Club.
Women's Murder Club, which is scheduled to debut October 1, has been dubbed as
Sex and the City meets
NYPD Blue,
Law & Order and
CSI. The comparison is not all that surprising especially with
Law & Order star,
Angie Harmon, leading a pack of four attractive and intelligent women on the show.
Women's Murder Club features the four ladies from various but somewhat related professions, who come together in an effort to solve difficult murder cases. The series is based on material from criminal suspense author, James Patterson, responsible for novels about fictional psychologist and FBI profiler, Alex Cross. Two such books,
Along Came a Spider and
Kiss the Girls, have already become full-length motion pictures.
In
Women's Murder Club, the 50-year old Secor, who played presidential husband and Chief of Staff Rod Allen on
Commander in Chief, will provide spice for one of the crime-solving women in the series. He will essay the role of a charismatic lawyer who has a clandestine relationship with Jill, played by
Laura Harris of
24 and
Dead Like Me.
Meanwhile, the 33-year old Carradine, who gained prominence as the efficient and tireless press secretary, Kelly Ludlow, on
Commander in Chief, will join
Women's Murder Club as the fiancée of
Rob Estes' character, Tom Hogan. Hogan is Lindsay Boxer's (Harmon) former husband and a politically versed police lieutenant.
Paula Newsome (
The Lyon's Den) and
Aubrey Dollar (
Point Pleasant) also star as the two other ladies who make up the
Women's Murder Club. Rounding off the regular cast are Rob Estes (
Silk Stalkings,
Melrose Place), Rob Benedict (
Felicity,
Threshold),
Tyrees Allen (
The Practice,
Alias) and
Linda Park (
Enterprise).
