King and Maxwell
Jon Tenney (“The Closer”, “Beverly Hills Cop 3”) will star in the CBS TV Studios production, adapted from characters created by bestselling author David Baldacci.
“In the vein of Moonlighting, it follows Sean King (Tenney) and Michelle Maxwell, who aren’t the typical pair of private investigators.
