They’re
modern, sexy, strong and independent women, and these femme fatales also have
the sharp wit and intelligence to take down the bad guys. Get ready because
they’re gracing television screens every Monday. Taking over from Kerry
Washington (The Fixer) and Marcia Gay Harden (Code Black), a new
set of all-powerful leading ladies features the talented Mireille Enos
in The Catch starting at 20h30 followed by Madam Secretary at 21h30,
which will see Téa Leoni returning for a second season.
For
those who love the latest trends, both The Catch and Madam Secretary
also feature some of the very best in corporate-and White House-fashion, all in
true Hollywood style. Both leading ladies may just be fictional but they’re
ready to provide some much-needed escapism on a Monday night, and they are sure
to be part of the conversation - on social media and everywhere else.
From
the producers of award-winning series The Fixer, Grey’s Anatomy and How to
Get Away with Murder, The Catch Season 1 is a brand new addition to
Shonda Rhimes’ already thrilling catalogue of drama.
Mireille
Enos (World War Z, The Killing), stars as Alice Vaughn, LA’s top private
investigator, who happens to be at the top of her game. As a woman who prides
herself on being one step ahead of the con-artists she puts behind bars, it’s
more than devastating when she discovers that her fiancé, played by the dapper
Peter Krause (Parenthood, Six Feet Under), has conned her out of
millions and disappeared with her wealth, her long list of profitable clients-
and possibly her sanity. Not one to back down, Alice prepares to embark on a
private mission for payback and she’ll stop at nothing to catch her man.
The
Catch also
stars Sonya Walger (Parenthood /Lost), Rose Rollins (The L Word),
Jacky Ido (Inglourious Basterds), Elvy Yost (Bandslam) and Alimi
Ballard (Fast Five). It’s executive-produced by Shonda Rhimes, Betsy
Beers, Allan Heinberg and Julie Anne Robinson.
Television
viewers were glued to their screens last year, when Téa Leoni made a comeback
to the small screen in the political drama Madam Secretary. In season 1
Elizabeth McCord, the shrewd, determined Secretary of State drove international
diplomacy, battled office politics and dodged protocol to negotiate global and
domestic issues, both at the White House and at home. The second season
premiere sees Elizabeth being forced to take the oath of office when the
President’s plane disappears, meaning she temporarily becomes Madam President.
Adding to the excitement is Academy Award winner Morgan Freeman, who directs
and makes a guest appearance in the second season premiere.
Madam
Secretary
stars Tim Daly as Henry McCord , Bebe Neuwirth as Nadine Tolliver, Željko
Ivanek as Russell Jackson, Patina Miller as Daisy Grant, Erich Bergen as Blake
Moran, Geoffrey Arend as Matt Mahoney, Kathrine Herzer as Alison McCord, Evan
Roe as Jason McCord, Wallis Currie Wood as Stephanie “Stevie” McCord and Keith
Carradine as President Conrad Dalton.
