KING & MAXWELL: TNT Brings Rebecca Romijn Back to Television

Alright TNT, you’ve got my attention. With the new offering for summer viewing, King & Maxwell, Rebecca Romijn returns to our TV screens. Partnering her with Jon Tenney (The Closer) seals the deal for me as I make out my summer TV list. I was going to pass on this because I really don’t need another crime drama, but I love these two actors so much. And I always felt that Jon Tenney’s Fritz on The Closer didn’t get nearly enough screen time.

King & Maxwell is based on a book series by David Baldacci, brought to television by the creator of NCIS: L.A. The premiere is set for June 10th immediately following The Closer spinoff, Major Crimes.

Press Release

Sean King (Tenney) and Michelle Maxwell (Romijn) 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 elite 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 (Michael Clayton) and Chris Butler (The Good Wife) as F.B.I. Special Agents Rigby and Carter, who clash with King and Maxwell over their less-than-legal methods. In addition, Ryan Hurst (Sons of Anarchy, TNT’s Wanted) stars as Edgar Roy. 

Watch King & Maxwell Monday nights at 10/9c on TNT.
