Simone Missick has been tapped as the lead in CBS’ forthcoming legal drama pilot
Missick will play Lola, a Deputy District Attorney turned newly appointed judge. She joins previously cast Marg Helgenberger, Jessica Camacho, Wilson Bethel
Courthouse is penned by Greg Spottiswood and helmed by Mike Robin. According to Deadline the show pulls back the curtain on the court system. It follows the dedicated, chaotic, hopeful and sometimes absurd lives of the judges, assistant district attorneys and public defenders as they work with bailiffs, clerks, cops and jurors to bring justice to the people of Los Angeles.
Missick will play Lola. Over the course of her impressive career as a Deputy District Attorney, Lola was known to be independent, formidable and, occasionally, wildly impulsive. As a newly appointed judge, Lola suddenly has more power. So she doesn’t sit back on the bench; Lola leans in — immediately pushing boundaries and challenging expectations of what a judge should be.
