Tom Welling and Brendan Fraser's Action Series PROFESSIONALS Acquired by The CW
Tom Welling, Brendan Fraser, and Elena Anaya star in a new action series titled Professionals, and The CW recently acquired the rights to it.
The series follows Vincent Corbo (Welling), “a top-tier security operative, who is paid to protect the interests of rich and powerful clients by any means necessary – legal or not. After a next-gen medical satellite explodes on launch, Corbo is hired by the rocket’s designer – billionaire futurist Peter Swann (Fraser) – who suspects sabotage. Complicating Corbo’s new gig is his former paramour and now Swann’s fiancée, medical visionary Dr. Grace Davila (Anaya), who is racing to help stave off a global catastrophe.”
As Corbo and his team of veteran security professionals investigate the rocket disaster, “they expose a lethal conspiracy of Swann’s corporate rivals, corrupt government officials, and a shadowy crime syndicate – all working to destroy Swann and take control of his tech empire. Worse, Corbo must also contend with a rogue Europol agent (Ken Duken) who is hellbent on busting him for past sins.”
This actually sounds like it will be a great series. I’m on board with the story, but the real selling point is Welling and Fraser starring together in the show! What a great cast.
The series also stars Saïd Taghmaoui, Lisa Loven Kongsli, August Wittgenstein, Stevel Marc, Tanya Van Graan, and Nic Rasenti.
Professionals was created by Jeff Most and Michael Colleary who also serve as co-showrunners and executive producers. There’s no word on when the series will premiere, but we’ll keep you updated. You can watch a trailer for the series below.
