Hilary Swank returns to network TV in ABC's Alaska Daily trailer
"Alaska has a funny way of revealing things to you," the trailer for ABC's new mystery drama boldly proclaims
Over two decades after her Beverly Hills, 90210 appearances, Hilary Swank is returning to network television. While the actor has led Netflix’s Away and FX’s Trust in the past few years (with a voice role on BoJack Horseman for a few episodes, lest anyone forget Joey Pogo), ABC’s Alaska Daily marks her first significant starring TV role on a broadcast channel.
The Oscar winner leads ABC’s mystery drama as investigative journalist Eileen Fitzgerald, who leaves her fancy New York City life behind and starts working at a local Anchorage newspaper. She’s looking for a clean start and personal and professional redemption. She hopes to find it in Alaska, a place which the trailer says “has a funny way of revealing things,” whatever the hell that means.
