“The Company You Keep” premiers new episodes on ABC every Sunday, but you don’t need cable to start watching the TV series.
What happens when a night of passion between con man Charlie and undercover CIA officer Emma leads to something serious? The new couple are on a collision course and extreme measures appear to be the only way out.
Charlie is ramping up the Nicoletti’s “family business” so he can get out for good. Emma is closing in on the vengeful criminal who holds Charlie’s family debts in-hand.
Forget about conflicts of interest. The real fallout may come from the lies, Charlie’s admission of criminal activity and disastrous consequences.
The series is based on the Korean Broadcasting System series called “My Fellow Citizens.”
“The Company You Keep” stars Milo Ventimiglia as Charlie, Catherine Haena Kim as Emma, William Fichtner as Leo, Tim Chiou as David, Freda Foh Shen as Grace, James Saito as Joseph, Sarah Wayne Callies as Birdie, Felisha Terrell as Daphne and Polly Draper as Fran.
