The untitled drama series is Disney’s international production division’s second global commission, after Ioan Gruffudd-fronted Australian crime drama Harrow.
The English-language series is a “sexy” and “action-packed” crime drama that sees Montgomery play Cat Chambers, a thief turned fixer for the Governor of a stunning and seductive Pacific Island archipelago. Impulsive, reckless, and irresistible, Cat’s less-than-perfect past gives her a gift for understanding crimes and criminals as she becomes enmeshed in fast-paced, high octane adventures and island intrigue.
Cat must also deal with old friends, enemies, and lovers including an FBI agent ex-husband, the gang boss she put in jail, and a police detective lover who is in over his head in the “blue-sky” drama.
It is written by Ken Sanzel, who also exec produces. Sanzel, a former New York City cop, was the executive producer and showrunner on CBS’ Numb3rs and also worked on NYC 22 and Ironside.
Montgomery’s last TV series was CBS and A&E police drama Unforgettable, which she also exec produced, and Without A Trace, which ran for seven seasons on CBS. Montgomery is repped by Framework Entertainment and ICM Partners.
