Good news “Spartacus: Bloods and Sand” fans. Actress Erin Cummings, who played the title character’s wife Sura in the first season of the Starz series, will be joining the cast of “Detroit 1-8-7” as a cast regular.
Cummings will play the primary medical examiner the “1-8-7” homicide detectives work with during their investigations, ABC confirmed today with the Free Press. But there’s more: Ala Drew Barrymore’s locally-made film “Whip It!” and our very own real-life sports stars, the Detroit Derby Girls, Cummings’ character will moonlight after work as a roller derby player.
Cummings comes to “1-8-7,” the first ever network prime-time series to be fully produced in Detroit, a graduate of the University of North Texas with a degree in journalism. Her acting credits include “Star Trek: Enterprise,” “Charmed,” “Dante’s Cove,” “The Bold and the Beautiful,” “Cold Case,” and “Dollhouse.”
Executive producers David Zabel, Jason Richman and Kevin Hooks met with the Free Press a couple weeks ago and talked about how construction for a studio is currently under way in Highland Park and that shooting there, and all around metro Detroit, is expected to begin in mid-July.
ABC allocated a budget that will inject more than $25 million into the local economy through production costs for its first 12 episodes, putting hundreds of extras to work while creating dozens of other jobs.
Producers are hopeful that the character-driven crime series, based around the lives of a Detroit homicide unit, will be picked up for a full season, which would mean an additional nine episodes shot in the D and many more millions of dollars stimulating the Michigan economy.
It is tentatively scheduled to premiere Sept. 21.
