TVLine Items: Megan Boone to Accused, Bridgerton Spinoff Casting and More
The Blacklist vet Megan Boone is returning to TV in an episode of Fox’s upcoming anthology series Accused, our sister site Deadline reports.
Based on the BAFTA-winning British show, the drama opens in a courtroom with a defendant being accused of a crime, then backtracks to reveal how these people got caught up in the extraordinary situations in which they find themselves. Boone will appear in an installment directed by Marlee Matlin, about a Deaf woman (Switched at Birth‘s Stephanie Nogueras) who becomes a surrogate for a couple (played by Boone and Killjoys’ Aaron Ashmore) and then commits a crime of advocacy and protection.
