During the Television Critics Association’s 2023 Winter Press Tour, ABC released a new trailer forThe 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 (Catherine Haena Kim), a talented law enforcement officer who spends her days going after dangerous criminals. One night at a bar, she crosses paths with Charlie (Milo Ventimiglia), 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. That’s the perfect recipe for disaster, as the couple will fall in love before realizing their line of work turns them into enemies.
The new trailer doesn’t reveal much about the show’s plot, so we’ll have to watchThe Company You Keeponce 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. And by the looks of it, they will be playing a game of cat and mouse during the day, oblivious to the fact they spend their evenings with the person they are chasing in their respective work lines.
