One of television’s best-hidden secrets, Rutina Wesley, finally gets a chance to shine in prime-time in the upcoming ABC drama, Broad Squad.
After spending seven years on HBO, Wesley has been cast in the upcoming ABC period drama, Broad Squad.
Based on a fictionalized account of the graduating class of Boston’s first female patrol officers in 1978, Broad Squad will focus on four newly minted cops, Eileen, Molly (Charlotte Spencer), Lisa (Cody Horn) and Joanne (Wesley).
Their arrival occurs during a tumultuous time in the city’s history and they must navigate rival neighborhoods as well as the conflicting attitudes toward them from everyone.
Recently, Wesley’s character, Tara, played the best friend to Sookie Stackhouse for seven seasons on the vampire drama, True Blood.
