Written by Maria Maggenti and directed by Cherie Nowlan, Murder In Manhattan is a dramedy set in New York centering on mother Blythe and daughter Lex (Regan) who team up as amateur sleuths. The sassy Lex works in the Mayor’s office by day, and works as sleuth with Blythe by night. Reynolds and Allan Loeb’s DarkFire TV co-produces the pilot, which will film in New York, with ABC Studios.

Regan, repped by TMT Entertainment and Gersh, recently recurred on the CW’s Beauty And The Beast.

She recently recurred on ABC’s Don’t Trust The B—.
