Ryan Michelle Bathé is ready for the spotlight with her new series “The Endgame,” debuting Feb. 21 on NBC
NEW YORK -- We’ve seen her on the legal drama “All Rise'' originally on CBS and “First Wives Club” for BET+, but Ryan Michelle Bathé has jumped to the top of the marquee as a star of “ The Endgame ” on NBC, debuting Monday.
The series co-stars Morena Baccarin (“Homeland,” "Deadpool,” “Gotham”) as Elena Federova, an international arms dealer who in the pilot has just been captured. Federova is always at least one step ahead of everyone else, so even in custody she's got the upper hand. The only person who comes close to figuring her out is Bathé's Val Turner of the FBI, a buttoned-up, by-the-book agent. Val’s hit a rough patch because her estranged husband, a former federal agent, was caught taking drug money — and she turned him in.
Viewers will soon notice these two characters seem to have way more going on than meets the eye, which will play out over the course of the season.
That two women are the stars of this thriller series for network television is “a huge step," acknowledges Bathé.
