  • He will play Ryan Hudson, a handsome and affluent guy whose trophy wife is the murder victim. While he has been ruled out as a suspect by the police, Nancy (McMann) is not so sure.
EPIX's GET SHORTY
  • Isaac Keys has been promoted to series regular on the drama's upcoming third season. He has heavily recurred on the drama's first two seasons. Moreover, Michaela Watkins and Seychelle Gabriel have landed recurring roles on the upcoming season.
