One network has combined action, intrigue and romance into a slick, globe-trotting ad- venture series that TV viewers won't want to miss. Matt Barr ("Hatfields & Mc- Coys") stars as former FBI agent and antiquities expert Danny McNamara, who re- cruits skilled art thief Lexi Vaziri (Sofia Pernas, "The Brave") to help him find a ter- rorist who's been funding his attacks with stolen art and relics in "Blood & Treasure," airing Tuesday, June 4, on CBS. As the saga unfolds, it be- comes clear that McNamara and Vaziri have tapped into a conflict that dates back 2,000 years. "Blood & Treasure" has been in the works since 2017, when news broke that writers Matt Federman and Stephen Scaia had created a new ac- tion series. The premise for the show was so enticing that CBS gave "Blood & Treasure" a 13-episode straight-to-se- ries order, a rare move in this day and age. Given Federman and Scaia's track record, it's understandable that the net- work would have faith in the series right out of the gate. They're known for their work on CBS's "Limitless" and "Jer- icho," as well as Syfy's "Ware- house 13" and other popular TV series. Federman and Scaia serve as executive producers of "Blood & Treasure," along- side Taylor Elmore ("Justi- fied"), Ben Silverman ("The Office"), Marc Webb ("Crazy Ex-Girlfriend") and rookie producer Mark Vlasic. Featuring an exciting mix of action, adventure and mystery typically reserved for the big screen, "Blood & Treasure" has been compared to hit film franchises like Indiana Jones and National Treasure. Filmed in Montreal, Italy and Moroc- co, the show boasts an inter- national flair as McNamara and Vaziri flit from one exotic locale to another in search of terrorist Karim Farouk (Oded Fehr, "The Mummy," 1999), "Blood & Treasure's" villain. Within the first five minutes of the series, Farouk had blown up an Egyptian pyramid in a shocking scene that set the tone for the show's no-holds- barred approach to action. The cast also includes Alicia Coppola ("Jericho") as Dr. Ana Castillo, McNamara's mentor, who's kidnaped by Farouk. Her abduction, and the theft of a priceless artifact, is what spurs McNamara into action, aided by Jay Reece (guest star John Larroquette, "Night Court") in the series premiere. As Vaziri and McNamara race to find Farouk and save Castillo, they encounter a di- verse group of individuals who may or may not be allies. Aiden Shaw (Michael James Shaw, "Limitless") is an arms dealer who, not surprisingly, is solely interested in self-pres- ervation. Crafty antiques bro- ker Simon Hardwick (James Callis, "Battlestar Galactica") has made a fortune procuring stolen artifacts for the wealthy. While the dynamic duo deals with these and a number of other unscrupulous players, they luckily have a little help from McNamara's childhood friend, Father Chuck (Mark Gagliardi, "Drunk History"), who works at the Vatican For- eign Ministry in Rome. Like the heroes, Interpol agent Gwen Karlsson (Katia Winter, "Sleepy Hollow") wants Farouk brought to jus- tice. However, she's adamant that McNamara and Vaziri obey international laws on their quest to find and stop the terrorist. In August, it was an- nounced that Anna Silk ("Lost Girl") had snagged a recur- ring role as a skilled interna- tional tracker and mercenary known as Roarke. "Blood & Treasure" will also feature ap- pearances by Mohamed Mar- ouazi ("Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan") as Reza Vaziri and An- tonio Cupo ("Bomb Girls") as Capt. Elio Fabi. In addition to the big- screen-worthy action se- quences, much of the show's appeal relies on the chemistry between the two leading characters, who happen to share a romantic past. Unfor- tunately, their passionate af- fair came to an end because Vaziri blamed McNamara for the death of her father, an an- tiquities dealer who died at the hands of a ruthless terror- ist. Crushed, she's turned to a life of crime, stealing artwork as she bides her time to get re- venge on the man responsible for her father's demise. McNa- mara had been a rising star in the FBI until a tragic mistake derailed his career. His mission with Vaziri could be his shot at redemption.
