Lewis is said to be playing a detective in the show, a remake of an Australian crime drama.
A report in The Hollywood Reporter states: “Lewis will play Andrea Cornell, the unflappable, somewhat formidable detective conducting the investigation into the slaying of 4-year-old Tom Mullen who has her sights set on Ben (Phillippe), the loving father who found the boy’s body.”
