Created by Jason Mosberg, $1 is set in a small rustbelt town in post-recession America, where a one-dollar bill changing hands connects a group of characters involved in a shocking multiple murder. The path of the dollar bill, and point of view in each episode, paints a picture of a modern American town with deep class and cultural divides that spill out into the open as the town’s secrets get revealed.
Kadri will play Rook, who’s new to the Police Department and eager to prove she’s tough and clever to the Chief, the squad, and herself.
Bitton is Chewy, a police officer born and raised in Pittsburgh who has seen it all and filled with snark. Hard to impress but loyal, he will protect his own at any cost. He’s an unwilling partner to Rook.
Clancy will portray Tom, a veteran cop on the force for many years. Well-meaning and a good cop but there is a reason he has never been promoted.
Atkinson is Terri Mitchell, one of the few women who work at the steel mill. She can hang with the guys, both tough and warm.
$1 is produced by CBS Television Studios and Anonymous Content. Anonymous Content’s Matt DeRoss serves as executive producer alongside Alexandre Dauman, and Craig Zobel (Compliance, The Leftovers) directs and executive produces.
