![]() Here's a list of the ABC official promos: Luna cracks up and adds "post-mortem menage." (And yes, I think that's the first time I've ever heard that phrase.) She nervously laughs and then lands on the stock response-"we keep saying sex, drugs, rock and roll.and murder." The camera cuts to Sisto, who deadpans: "sex with dead people?" and looks over at Luna. In the promo video entitled "' Wicked City' Will Push Network TV Boundaries on ABC," the interviewer asks the four leads: "if you could come up with a hashtag that encapsulates what you think is the most wicked moment of the pilot, what would it be?" Westwick smirks, dodges the question, and looks at Christensen to answer. (The main trailer begins by Kent picking up Betty in a club and then a character commenting that Westwick's Kent is "so handsome.") Executive Producer Todd Lieberman explains in a " First Look" video: "The juxtaposition between these two characters who are able to show love, not only to each other, but to young children and then on the other side of that, they couldn't be more devious and couldn't be darker and together they form this kind of Bonnie and Clyde-like serial killer duo."īut while ABC is clearly marketing the show from a generic hedonistic serial killer angle (and it says something that such an angle is generic at this point in our cultural development), a few random asides make it clear that something else is figuring into the story that ABC isn't highlighting. But they also emphasize their most positive characteristics, primarily their sex appeal. The promos for the show make it very clear that Kent and Betty are sociopathic serial killers. ![]() Interviews with cast members suggest that the showrunners gave them talking points describing the show as focusing on "sex, drugs, rock and roll.and murder." The first 13-episode arc is set in 1982, on the Sunset Strip, and tells the story of a couple named Kent ( Ed Westwick) and Betty ( Erika Christensen) and the cops (including Jeremy Sisto and Gabriel Luna) pursuing them. ![]() It is being described by the network as an anthology show, like American Horror Story, that tells a particular story about Los Angeles each season. Wicked City will premiere on ABC on Tuesday, October 27th at 10pm.
