Twilight‘s evil vampire ‘James’ is reuniting with the director of the first film of the sparkling vampire series for CBS’s Reckless. Cam Gigandet is going to play a city attorney in the upcoming legal drama set in Charleston, South Carolina.

Catherine Hardwicke is set to direct the pilot.

In addition, Michael Gladis from Mad Men has just joined the cast. Gladis will play the town’s police chief.

Gigandet and writer/director Hardwicke also worked together recently on the thriller Plush which stars Emily Browning, Frances Fisher, Xavier Samuel, and Casey LaBow.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Reckless focuses on a “gorgeous Yankee litigator” and Gigandet’s city attorney character as they “struggle to hide their intense attraction while clashing over a police sex scandal.”
