Perabo, recognized by fans of the Paramount Network Western as Summer Higgins, an activist and romantic partner of ranch owner John Dutton (portrayed by Kevin Costner), has been a contentious addition to the show in its fourth and fifth seasons, often butting heads with John’s fiery daughter, Beth (Kelly Reilly)

The six-part series is described as a “character-driven spy thriller that delves into intricate family dynamics within the perilous realm of global espionage.”

The supporting ensemble also features The Secret Art of Human Flight’s Reina Hardesty and Louis Landau, who broke out in the smash Disney+ series Rivals.
