Deception is coming to ABC during the 2017-2018 season, and it's one of the more interesting new series.
Per the official logline:
When his career is ruined by scandal, superstar magician Cameron Black has only one place to turn to practice his art of deception, influence, and illusion — the FBI. Using every trick in the book and inventing new ones, he will help the government catch the world’s most elusive criminals while staging the biggest illusions of his career.
The trailer succeeds in showing us the series will be taking on a comedic tone while solving crimes.
The set-up seems rather similar to ABC's ill-fated Forever, but trading immortality with magic. I'm not so sure where ABC could realistically slot it in the schedule, but something tells me it will go to Tuesdays at 10 and we all know how terrible that slot is.
The cast includes Jack Cutmore-Scott, Ilfenesh Hadera, Lenora Crichlow, and even Vinnie Jones. Am I the only one who cannot take Jones seriously?
Maybe it will add to the comedic aspect of the show... at least, that's what I'm hoping.
