Bloom, Marsden, Nicholson, and Shahi are set to take on series regular roles while Marshall, Evans, and Beavers will make recurring appearances.
While the exact premise of the series remains veiled in secrecy, insiders hint at a plot revolving around the President (Marsden) and his Secret Service detail, led by Brown. Fogelman’s speculative script, discreetly pitched to senior executives at 20th Television and Hulu, successfully secured a green light for the production.

Bloom steps into the character of Jane, a young Secret Service agent looking up to Brown’s character as a mentor and father figure. Beavers takes on the role of Billy, another member of the President’s detail and a close friend to Sterling K. Brown’s character.
Evans is poised to play Jeremy, the President’s son, whose thoughts and dreams diverge from his father’s political career. Nicholson embodies a political force behind the scenes, while Shahi assumes the role of a therapist harboring secrets of her own.
Produced by 20th Television, the series boasts an impressive lineup of executive producers, including Fogelman, Sterling K. Brown, Jess Rosenthal, John Hoberg, John Requa, Glenn Ficarra, and Steve Beers. Notably, this project marks a reunion for Fogelman and Hoberg, who previously collaborated on ABC cult favorites Galavant and The Neighbors.
