The Good Wife’s Archie Panjabi will lead season one of The Jury
Deadline reports that The Good Wife’s Archie Panjabi will lead the season-one cast of The Jury, ABC’s latest foray into the land of anthology series. The Jury comes from executive producers Carol Mendelsohn (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation) and VJ Boyd, the latter of whom will also write the series with Mark Bianculli. Neil Burger (Divergent, Limitless) will direct the first season of the anthology series, which will follow the jury serving on a murder trial. It’s being described as “12 Angry Men meets the podcast Serial,” presumably because there’s no room in this matter of life and death for the kind of sequestering jokes made in Pauly Shore’s Jury Duty.
