Watch theMaggie Trailer
Maggie (Rebecca Rittenhouse) is a psychic with real abilities. Ever since she was young, she could see the futures of friends, family, and peers. The owner of Psychic Readings by Maggie, she’s turned this ability into a business. Things seem to be business as usual until she does a reading on Ben (David Del Rio). During Ben’s reading, she sees marriage, children’s toys, and literal sparks flying with a mysterious young woman. When the woman in the vision is revealed, she is surprised to see that it is herself. In shock, Maggie has to move forward with this new knowledge.
Outside of Ben and Maggie, the trailer introduces us to a number of other characters that should play a key role. Maggie’s best friend Louise (Nichole Sakura) has some potential as Maggie’s perpetually single gal-pal. She also has a couple of fun interactions with Angel (Ray Ford), her “psychic since the 7th grade.” Maggie’s personal growth will be front and center in the arc of the narrative of the series, but the trailer throws into question whether or not Maggie’s fulfillment will come in the form of a romantic connection as well. There does seem to be this kind of tension with Ben. But, as manyThat’s So Ravenfans learned, the future isn’t always as it seems, and just because something appears a certain way in a vision, doesn’t mean that it will come in the expected form.
