TNT's New Drama Series ‘Murder in the First’

After watching the trailer for this new drama, I’m more than intrigued. I’d love to see Tom Felton in a role where he’s not playing the “bad guy” all the time; his turn in Rise of the Planet of the Apes also had him playing a dastardly fellow, but I’m excited to see him outside the walls of Hogwarts.

Acclaimed Producer Steven Bochco Tackles a Season-Long Case In TNT’s New Drama Series Murder in the First

This summer, TNT is going to take an up-close and personal look at a complex homicide investigation in Murder in the First, a powerful scripted drama co-created by Emmy®-winner Steven Bochco and newcomer Eric Lodal. Murder in the First stars Taye Diggs (Private Practice) and Kathleen Robertson (Boss). Also starring are Tom Felton (Harry Potter), Mimi Kirkland (Safe Haven), Raphael Sbarge (Once Upon a Time), Lombardo Boyar (The Bernie Mac Show), Ian Anthony Dale (Hawaii Five-0), Bess Rous (What Just Happened), Nicole Ari Parker (Revolution), Currie Graham (Raising the Bar), Richard Schiff (The West Wing), James Cromwell (Babe, L.A. Confidential) and Steven Weber (Dallas, Wings). Murder in the First is set to premiere Monday, June 9, at 10 p.m. (ET/PT), following the season three premiere of TNT’s hit crime drama Major Crimes.

Set in San Francisco, Murder in the First will follow a single case across an entire season. The series follows homicide detectives Terry English (Diggs) and Hildy Mulligan (Robertson) as they investigate two seemingly unrelated murders. The mystery deepens, however, when they find both murders have a common denominator in Silicon Valley wunderkind Erich Blunt (Felton).

Terry and Hildy’s fellow detectives in their squad include SFPD homicide inspector David Molk (Sbarge), a thoughtful philosopher-cop and frequent class clown, and his tough-as-nails partner inspector Edgar Navarro (Boyar). The ambitious and no-nonsense Lt. Jim Koto (Dale) serves as the squad’s supervisor.

Tom Felton as Erich Blunt

Supporting Blunt in his endeavors are Bill Wilkerson (Weber), his long-time friend, driver and pilot, and Ivana West (Rous), the company’s brilliant chief technology officer. Blunt’s legal team includes David Hertzberg (Schiff), his gruff lawyer and trusted confidant, and Warren Daniels (Cromwell), a legendary criminal attorney brought in to assist when suspicion turns to Blunt. Facing them in the courtroom will be the remarkably brilliant District Attorney Sonia Perez (Parker) and pit-bull Chief Prosecutor Mario Siletti (Graham).

Murder in the First also takes viewers into Terry and Hildy’s home lives. Hildy is a single mom with an inquisitive daughter (Kirkland). Terry, meanwhile, is struggling to take care of his terminally ill wife, Emily, played by guest star Anne-Marie Johnson (JAG, In the Heat of the Night).
