‘Complicating matters is that the caustic and arrogant Dr. Rob ‘Griff’ Griffith(Jason Isaacs) also happens to be her father. The result is a clash of family wills between old guard and new methods in a life-and-death business.’ 

It will mark Sophia’s first main network television role since she starred in Chicago P.D. as main character Erin Lindsay from 2014-2017. The role of Lindsay was the first time that Bush was the lead in a TV series but she became a fan-favorite after her nine-season stint as Brooke Davis is WB/CW’s One Tree Hill.

Harry Potter fans will surely remember Isaacs who starred as the villainous Lucius Malfoy in the smash hit movie franchise. The cast also includes Edwin Hodge, Skye P. Marshall, Michael Stahl-David, Davi Santos, Omar Maskati and Wendy Crewson.

No release date has been set yet but the show is expected to premiere sometime in the fall.
