The Messengers centers on a group of seemingly unconnected strangers who die from an energy pulse after a mysterious object crashes down to Earth. They awaken to learn that they have been deemed responsible for preventing the impending apocalypse.
Bowles, who has played Holly on the True Blood for the past four years, will portray Sen. Cindy Richards, a hard-working, passionate politician driven by a painful personal past. When she crosses paths with the so-called Messengers, she’s not only in the midst of a reelection campaign, but also on the verge of making choices that may have a long-lasting impact far beyond the Beltway.
The Messengers is set for a midseason debut; an official premiere date has not yet been announced.
