During the Television Critics Association’s 2023 Winter Press Tour, ABC released a new trailer for The Company You Keep. The series follows a criminal and a CIA officer who fall in love with each other, unaware of each other’s secret lives.
The new trailer introduces us to Emma , a talented law enforcement officer who spends her days going after dangerous criminals. One night at a bar, she crosses paths with Charlie , a con man who’s working to pay off his debt to some powerful criminal family. Neither of them feels like revealing the truth about themselves, but they still flirt with each other and end up spending the night together.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The new trailer doesn’t reveal much about the show’s plot, so we’ll have to watch The Company You Keep once it comes to ABC if we want to learn where Emma and Charlie’s passion will take them. However, the trailer underlines how the upcoming series will put an explosive spin on the forbidden love trope as Emma and Charlie get involved with the same powerful criminals.
The Company You Keep premieres Sunday, February 19, at 10 p.m. ET, exclusively on ABC. New episodes will follow weekly, streaming on Hulu the day after they premiere. Check out the new trailer and the series’ synopsis below. A night of passion leads to love between con man Charlie and undercover CIA officer Emma, who are unknowingly on a collision course professionally. While Charlie ramps up the “family business” so he can get out for good, Emma’s closing in on the vengeful criminal who holds Charlie’s family debts in hand - forcing them to reckon with the lies they’ve told so they can save themselves and their families from disastrous consequences.
