Get to Know the Cast of 'The Company You Keep' aka Your Soon-to-Be Favorite New Drama
Succession-levels of family drama meet Oceans-esque heists in ABC's latest series The Company You Keep. The new show is based on a South Korean series called My Fellow Citizens! and seems to be keeping close to the original source material. Both stories follow a con man who falls in love with a federal agent, finding himself intertwined with a powerful political family. The Company You Keep truly takes in-law drama to the next level. Forget political or religious differences, at least your blended families don't straddle the lines of legality...or maybe they do, we don't know your life!
The series' pilot episode aired on February 19, with new episodes dropping every Sunday. Before you get lost in the drama, study up on the ensemble.
