Executive producer and writer, Melissa Rosenberg (Dexter, Twilight) has teamed up with Howard Klein (The Office, Parks & Recreation) and Endemol Studios (Hell On Wheels) to bring a new thriller to ABC titled Red Widow.
Adapted from the Dutch TV series Penoza, Red Widow follows Marta Walraven, a Northern California suburban housewife attempting to cope with the death of her drug dealing husband, who was gunned down in their driveway . Left to fend for herself and her children, Marta is forced to join the family’s organized crime business — the same one she tried so hard to distance herself from. If you’re thinking Weeds meets Sopranos, your in the ball park.
Red Widow stars Radha Mitchell (Marta Walraven), Sterling Beaumon (Gabriel Walraven), Clifton Collins Jr. (FBI Agent James Ramos), Suleka Mathew (Dina), and Goran Visnjic (Christian Schiller)
ABC ordered eight episodes of the series with the two-hour premier airing March 9th on the network. Here’s a sneak peak of Red Widow below..
