USA Network premiered the extended trailer for its new crime drama Graceland, airing this summer.
Inspired by a true story, USA’s gritty new one-hour original drama Graceland comes from executive producer and White Collar creator Jeff Eastin. The series, premiering in Summer 2013 on the USA Network, stars Aaron Tveit (Les Miserables, Gossip Girl) and Daniel Sunjata (Rescue Me).
Graceland delves into the lives of an elusive group of undercover agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and U.S. Customs, whose worlds collide at a repossessed Southern California beachfront mansion called Graceland (the house got its name when the authorities seized the house from a drug lord known to be an obsessed Elvis Presley fan). With three agencies living under one roof, ordinary roommate issues are amplified, as secrets are a matter of life or death.
Graduating at the top of his class, FBI rookie Mike Warren (Tveit) anticipates a traditional D.C. desk job when he’s unexpectedly shipped to Graceland. Immediately thrown into his first undercover assignment, he relies heavily on the guidance of legendary FBI agent and mentor Paul Briggs (Sunjata). Briggs is an unusually Zen-like senior agent who notoriously hates the rule book and will go to any length to protect Graceland from the outside world. With an ensemble cast, the series also features Vanessa Ferlito (Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps) as strong-willed DEA agent Catherine Charlie Lopez; Brandon Jay McLaren (Fallen Skies) as quick-tempered U.S. Customs agent Dale Jakes; Manny Montana (Chicago Code) as the fun-loving prankster and FBI agent Joe Johnny Tuturro; and Serinda Swan (Breakout Kings) as intuitive and merciless DEA agent Paige Arkin.
From Fox Television Studios, Eastin serves as creator and executive producer. Russell Fine (White Collar, Necessary Roughness) directed the pilot.
