'The Good Wife' Creators Bringing 'BrainDead' to CBS in Summer 2016, Starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead

Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Mary Elizabeth Winstead will star in BrainDead, a new comic-thriller set in the world of Washington, D.C. politics, to be broadcast in summer 2016. The series comes from Robert and Michelle King, creators and executive producers of The Good Wife.

Winstead will portray Laurel, the daughter of a Democratic political dynasty who left Washington, D.C. to become a documentary filmmaker, but is pulled back into the family business when her brother, the senate majority whip, needs her help running his senate office. Now a young, fresh-faced Hill staffer, Laurel discovers two things: The government has stopped working, and alien spawn have come to Earth and eaten the brains of a growing number of congressmen and Hill staffers.
