"Paired with the acting genius of Natasha Lyonne, this series will be entertaining and addictive."
"I'm very excited to dig into the type of fun, character driven, case-of-the-week mystery goodness I grew up watching. It's my happy place," added Johnson. "Having Natasha as a partner in crime is a dream, and we've found the perfect home at Peacock."
