Ventimiglia and Kim portray a con man and CIA agent who fall for each other.
ABC
ABC has dropped the first full length trailer for its upcoming crime drama The Company You Keep. Based on the Korean Broadcasting System’s series My Fellow Citizens, The Company You Keep follows the complicated love story of Charlie (Milo Ventimiglia) and Emma (Catherine Haena Kim). In the trailer, we can see the two banter back and forth about their professions, which are anything but an ideal match: Charlie is a con man, while Emma is a CIA agent. You can watch the steamy trailer below.
While the odds may be more in their favor if he was a “yoga instructor” and she was a “pageant queen turned rocket scientist,” their conflicting professions don’t stop the two from falling from each other. According to the series official synopsis, “A night of passion leads to love between con man Charlie and undercover CIA officer Emma, who are unknowingly on a collision course professionally. While Charlie ramps up the ‘family business’ so he can get out for good, Emma’s closing in on the vengeful criminal who holds Charlie’s family debts in hand – forcing them to reckon with the lies they’ve told so they can save themselves and their families from disastrous consequences.”

The Company You Keep’s Lead Stars
Ventimiglia rose to popularity following his breakout role on The Gilmore Girls, where he portrayed Jess Mariano from 2001 to 2006. Beginning in 2016, he portrayed beloved family patriarch Jack Pearson in This Is Us. In a recent interview, Ventimiglia compared that character to The Company You Keep’s Charlie:
“Charlie is very different from Jack Pearson, but there are some similarities in who they are as men looking out for their families. [Charlie] is a criminal, but he’s a good bad guy. You’re rooting for him,” he said.
Most recently, Ventimiglia appeared in the fourth season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, marking a reunion between him and Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino. He will appear in the fifth and final season of the critically acclaimed show.
The Company You Keep will mark Kim’s first leading role. She has guest starred on multiple series, including Gossip Girl, 90210, Ballers, FBI, and Good Trouble.
