Neve Campbell Books Starring Role on David E. Kelley’s New ABC Drama

Neve Campbell remains booked and busy.

The actress is going to act David E. KellyABC’s upcoming drama Avalon, E! The news was confirmed.

Based on the novella p Michael Connelly, the series takes place in the city of Avalon on the southern California island of Catalina. Campbell will play Detective Nicole “Nick” Searcy, a lone detective who works at a tourist attraction.

“Somewhat inscrutable, Nick is not easily intimidated, and she stands firm in her morals,” the network said. “Ironically, her strong moral compass got her banished to Catalina’s largest city, Avalon. No career Los Angeles cop would want that kind of gig, but Nick soon discovers that Avalon needs her valuable detective skills more than she ever imagined.”

Avalon marks the reunion of Campbell and Kelly after the actress starred in the first season on Netflix Lincoln’s lawyer earlier this year, based on which Kelly created Brasa’s verdict, also written by Connelly. Campbell will return for the second season.

Kelly is the television mastermind behind other similar shows Big Little Lie, Nine perfect strangers, Ellie McBeal and Practice.
