Whew, I thought WGN America was dead, so it’s nice to find out that they are bringing out new programming and is bringing one of my favorites Anna Paquin (True Blood, X-Men) back to television as a Producer and star of Bellevue. Bellevue is another one of those small town with big secrets dramas.
Twenty years ago the murder of a young woman traumatized the community. Now the killer is back. Or is he? When a high school hockey star wrestling with his gender identity goes missing and all signs point to foul play, Detective Annie Ryder (Anna Paquin) must unravel all the pieces to this gripping mystery before her own life falls apart.
As the case pulls her further away from her family, she is also confronted by a mysterious person from her past with disturbing answers and a terrifying need to get inside her head. Along the way, Annie must navigate a complicated relationship with her on again, off again ex, Eddie (Allen Leech) and her boss on the force, Police Chief Peter Welland (Shawn Doyle).
The show will premiere on WGN America in 2018.
