ABC went all out at San Diego Comic-Con this year and one of the shows that got a whole lot of love (Petco Park-sized love) was the upcoming thriller,Emergence.Allison Tolmanleads the new series as Jo, a police chief who’s called to the site of an unusual accident. While there, she finds a child (Alexa Swinton) all alone with no memory of what just happened to her. Jo winds up agreeing to take her in but little does she know, that decision puts Jo, her family and her colleagues right smack in the middle of a major conspiracy.
While in San Diego for Comic-Con 2019, Tolman and her co-starsRobert Bailey Jr.who plays Officer Chris andOwain Yeomanwho plays a journalist named Benny swung by the Collider studio to talk about the show. Give the video at the top of this article a watch to find out more about their characters, what it was like jumping into a pilot that tees up such an extensive mystery and to watch the group play a round of “Would You Rather.” (They actually play the game in the pilot episode of the show, so bringing the game back for this interview felt like a must!)
Keep an eye out for ABC’sEmergencewhich is set to premiere on Tuesday, September 24th at 10/9c.
