CBS’ upcoming new dramatic series Instinct has added Sharon Leal (Dreamgirls) to the season one cast led by Alan Cumming. Instinct is based on James Patterson’s novel, with Patterson involved as an executive producer. Cumming, Michael Rauch, Marc Webb, Alex Kurtzman, Heather Kadin, Bill Robinson, and Leopoldo Gout are also on board as executive producers. Additionally, The Amazing Spider-Man director Marc Webb directed the series’ pilot.
Instinct will premiere later in the 2017-2018 primetime season.
The Plot: Instinct stars Alan Cumming as a former CIA operative who is lured back to his old life when the NYPD needs his help to stop a serial killer. Dr. Dylan Reinhart (Cumming) is a gifted author and university professor living a quiet life teaching psychopathic behavior to packed classes of adoring students. But when top NYPD detective Lizzie Needham (Bojana Novakovic) appeals to him to help her catch a serial murderer who is using Dylan’s first book as a tutorial, Dylan is compelled by the case, comes out of retirement and taps into his old skill set. Though Dylan and Lizzie initially clash, when it comes to catching killers, they realize they will make an ideal team if they both trust their instincts.
Leal will portray a friend of Lizzie’s who has recently been promoted to be their boss in the NYPD.
