In “Conviction” Atwell is cast to play Carter Morrison, the “brilliant but ne’er-do-well daughter of a former president, who is blackmailed into taking a job as the head of Los Angeles’ newly created Conviction Integrity Unit. She, along with her team of lawyers, investigators and forensic experts, work together to examine cases where there’s credible suspicion that the wrong person may have been convicted of a crime.
No word on what this may mean for the future of Agent Carter which is currently in its second limited-run (eight-episode) season on ABC.
