CBS Upfronts: ‘Intelligence’ Preview and Trailer

0

CBS presented its 2013-14 primetime slate to advertisers on Wednesday. Since the network kept 19 of its 2012-13 shows, there wasn’t a lot of room for new pilots. But we’ve got a look at two of the three new dramas the network ordered for fall and midseason (At this time, the network has not released any photos or trailers for Reckless).

Check out CBS’s official Intelligence description below.

Josh Holloway (Lost) stars in the dramatic thriller as a high-tech intelligence operative enhanced with a super-computer microchip in his brain. With this implant, Gabriel (Holloway) is the first human ever to be connected directly into the worldwide information grid and have complete access to Internet, WiFi, telephone and satellite data.  He can hack into any data center and access key intel in the fight to protect the United States from its enemies.

Leading the elite government cyber-security agency created to support him is Director Lillian Strand (Marg Helgenberger), a straightforward and efficient boss who oversees the unit’s missions. Strand assigns Riley Neal (Meghan Ory), a Secret Service agent, to protect Gabriel from outside threats, as well as from his appetite for reckless, unpredictable behavior and disregard for protocol.

Other skilled members of the Cybercom team include Chris Jameson (Michael Rady) and Gonzalo “Gonzo” Rodriguez (James Martinez), two resourceful federal investigators. The brains behind the design of the chip is Dr. Shenendoah Cassidy (John Billingsley), whose son, Nelson (PJ Byrne), is jealous of Gabriel’s prominent place in his father’s life. As the first supercomputer with a beating heart, Gabriel is the most valuable piece of technology the country has ever created and is the U.S.’s secret weapon.Michael Seitzman,

René Echevarria, Tripp Vinson, and David Semel (for pilot) are executive producers for ABC Television Studios in association with CBS Television Studios.

Intelligence premieres Mondays, 10 p.m. in 2014 on CBS.
