Watch the Exclusive Teaser Trailer for WGN America’s New Crime Thriller, Shoot the Messenger

In the exclusive teaser trailer for WGN America’s upcoming Shoot the Messenger (see below), cub reporter Daisy Channing (Elyse Levesque) stumbles into the story of a lifetime—one she’ll see through to the end even if it comes at great personal risk.

The eight-part limited series, part of network’s new “Prime Crime” programming strategy— which also includes 100 Code, Bellevue and Pure—follows Daisy as her investigation of what appears to be a gang murder leads her to uncover a conspiracy that reaches to the highest levels of the business and political worlds. Shoot the Messenger co-stars Alex Kingston as Daisy’s editor, Lucas Bryant as her co-worker, and Lyriq Bent as a local homicide detective.

Shoot the Messenger, co-created by Jennifer Holness and Sudz Sutherland, is set to air on WGN America in 2018.
