Revolution and Lost alumna Elizabeth Mitchell and Goran Visnjic (ER) are set to star in the third season of Tandem Communications’ Europe-set action/crime drama, Crossing Lines. The two join Donald Sutherland as series leads and will fill a void left by original Crossing Lines star William Fichtner, who will not be returning for Season 3.
The series has been greenlit for 12 episodes with X-Files veteran Frank Spotnitz, who has a first-look deal with Tandem, joining as executive producer alongside Tandem’s Rola Bauer. Crossing Lines creator/executive producer Ed Bernero departed after the end of Season 2 to be close to his family in California. The series films in Europe with action getting underway next week in Prague.
Crossing Lines revolves around a squad of European law enforcement officers — led in the first two seasons by Carl Hickman (Fitchner) — who battle the explosion of international crime that accompanied the opening of borders by the European Union.
Mitchell and Visnjic will play Carine Strand and Marco Corazza, new members of the elite team of officers investigating cross-border crimes. Additional new series regulars include Stuart Martin (Babylon) and Naomi Battrick (Waterloo Road). Sutherland will reprise his role as Michel Dorn. Also returning for Season 3 are Tom Wlaschiha and Lara Rossi.
Season 3 picks up six months after the conclusion of Season 2. After one of his top prosecutors vanishes, Dorn must reactivate the ICC team as the group struggles to re-establish its battered identity. The third season will have a new emphasis on relevant and contemporary cross-border crime.

Too bad Elizabeth Michell can't be cast in a network pilot then.
ReplyDeleteThought the same thing. But probably didn't found anything that works for her.
ReplyDeleteGlad the show's on Netflix and there's only twenty-two episodes because I'm in for Liz.
ReplyDeleteOooh, this is great news! CSI: Europe is ridiculously inaccurate in its portrayal of the ICC, but still fun. I love it.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth Mitchell YEEEESSSSSS ❤❤❤
ReplyDeleteMight have to watch this is now, but I'm still hoping EM will pop up as guest star on other shows...
ReplyDeleteSame reaction lol. I have no idea how this show is but I think I will try it out in the summer if I find the time just for her. That's how much I like her.
ReplyDeleteThis show has been on my to watch list for over a year. Maybe I'll finally do it.
ReplyDeleteTbh i haven't seen S2 but there was a mini prison break reunion in S1 and the show it good :)
ReplyDeleteIm so glad for season 3 but what about richard flood and Gabriella Pession and Tom Wlaschiha r they gone i need them back and william bein gone is gonna hurt
ReplyDeleteThis show is great. :)
ReplyDeleteOMG YEA!
ReplyDeleteOH NO! I didn't read! No William Fichtner! wtf
ReplyDeleteElizabeth Mitchell will be mean again!
ReplyDeleteWith no U.S. TV partner, my guess is season 3 will make it's way to Netflix. Probably sometime in 2016. Add me to those also surprised that Elizabeth Mitchell took this job. My guess is the scripts she was getting weren't that good and this is a good opportunity for her to live and work in Europe for 6-8 months. Then maybe 2016-17, she will consider U.S. TV jobs.
ReplyDeleteyes Elizabeth on the show OMG!!! Gotta start watching then!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, I want them back too! Especially Richard Flood, I love his character.
ReplyDeleteTommy needs to be back too! He's one of my favorites on the team, the episode with his backstory was one of the best.
