Preview — Alaska Daily Season 1 Episode 1: Pilot
Alaska Daily, the new ABC drama starring Academy Award winning actress Hilary Swank, debuts with Alaska Daily Season 1 Episode 1, “Pilot.”
The series was created by Tom McCarthy, who is no stranger to crime dramas like this. He previously wrote, directed, and produced the 2021 film Stillwater.
On the series, Swank stars as Eileen Fitzgerald. Eileen is a talented journalist whose successful career comes crashing down after a professional scandal.
With nothing left for her in New York, Eileen is convinced to leave her high-profile life behind to join a daily metro newspaper in Anchorage, Alaska, and investigate a two-year-old cold case involving a missing indigenous woman.
While looking for answers in her investigation, Eileen is also looking for a fresh start and a chance to rebuild her life away from the notoriety that followed her in New York.
Joining Eileen on her journey are her new co-workers at the Alaska Daily, Austin Teague (Craig Frank), Yuna Park (Ami Park), Gabriel Tovar (Pablo Castelblanco), Rosalind “Roz” Friendly (Grace Dove), Claire Muncy (Meredith Holzman), and Bob Young (Matt Malloy), who viewers will meet on “Pilot.”
