‘The Company You Keep’ Preview: Photos, Cast Info, and Plot Details

February 10, 2023

This Is Us star Milo Ventimiglia is following up his six-year run with a starring role as a con artist on ABC’s new series The Company You Keep. The one-hour primetime drama is based on the Korean Broadcasting System’s My Fellow Citizens and will premiere on Sunday, February 19, 2023 at 10pm ET/PT.

ABC’s released this description of season one:

“A night of passion leads to love between con man Charlie and undercover CIA officer Emma, who are unknowingly on a collision course professionally. While Charlie ramps up the “family business” so he can get out for good, Emma’s closing in on the vengeful criminal who holds Charlie’s family debts in hand – forcing them to reckon with the lies they’ve told so they can save themselves and their families from disastrous consequences.”

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Milo Ventimiglia described his character, Charlie, as unremarkable. “He’s very plain, very simple. He tries to be unnoticed, yet when he steps into that con world, he has to put something on that is remarkable and forgettable. As an actor, it’s challenging to be able to be engaging, and at the same time, people are going to forget you in the same breath if they’re ever talking to law enforcement or anything like that.”

He added: “He’s got to be a chameleon that kind of just disappears. That’s what we’re working on now is understanding what the Nicoletti family’s gotten into, what they’ve been doing in the world of grifting, how their choices are affecting Charlie personally.”

The season one cast also includes Catherine Haena Kim as Emma, William Fichtner as Leo, Tim Chiou as David, Freda Foh Shen as Grace, James Saito as Joseph, Sarah Wayne Callies as Birdie, and Felisha Terrell as Daphne.
