Los
Angeles, CA, February 20, 2018 – WGN America announced today that
its much-anticipated crime drama “100
Code” will premiere on
Tuesday, May 29 at 10/9c.
Starring Dominic
Monaghan (Lost,
Lord of the Rings
Trilogy) as New York Detective Tommy Conley and the late Michael
Nyqvist (John
Wick, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo)
as the by-the-book Swedish detective Mikael Eklund, the 12-episode
series was created by Academy Award® winner Bobby
Moresco (Crash,
Million Dollar Baby).
“100
Code” is an exceptional television show that underscores our
commitment to high quality original series,” said Gavin Harvey,
President, WGN America. “We are very excited to add this highly
anticipated international thriller to our industry-leading lineup of
scripted crime dramas.”
“100
Code” is a tense crime thriller, following the hunt for a serial
killer who targets young, blonde and blue-eyed women, found dead in
fields of flowers. Through a special arrangement with the NYPD,
Detective Tommy Conley (Monaghan) is permitted to observe and advise
the Stockholm PD, as he suspects a connection between a series of
murders in New York and a death in Sweden. Upon arrival in
Stockholm, he is paired with Mikael Eklund (Nyqvist), a Swedish cop
with an aversion to American culture. Both detectives despise each
other, but the two are quickly forced to resolve their differences as
the mysterious killings continue. With the vicious killer still at
large, Conley and Eklund embark on a hunt that leads the duo down a
path of no return.
“100
Code” joins
WGN America’s stable of crime-focused series including the Anna
Paquin-led mystery drama “Bellevue” and “Shoot the Messenger,”
