Undercover operative Tom Keen (Ryan Eggold) joins forces with Susan “Scottie” Hargrave (Famke Janssen), the brilliant and cunning chief of Grey Matters, a covert mercenary organization that solves problems governments don’t dare touch. Their relationship resembles that between Reddington and Liz on the mothership series. While on the hunt for Liz’s attacker, u
Tom secretly discovered that Scottie is actually his biological mother. Now, as they team up to employ their unique skills and resources in a dangerous world of deadly criminals, Tom begins his own covert mission to find out more about his shadowy past.
In addition to Janssen and Eggold, the cast of the spinoff series includes EGG-y Gath-EGG-y (Edi Gathegi) as Matias Solomon, and Tawny Cypress as Nez Rowan. The four actors had great chemistry working as a team in the fast paced, dynamic backdoor pilot this past Thursday night in the Alexander Kirk episode.
