Liam McIntyre is trading in “Spartacus” swords and sandals for a gun and a badge, joining Syfy’s horror-drama pilot “The Haunted” as a cop, TVLine reports.
Written by Noga Landau (“Tau”, “The Magicians”), “The Haunted” centers on four adult siblings (played by “Shameless‘” Steve Kazee, “Jessica Jones‘” Elizabeth Cappuccino, “Nikita‘s” Lyndsy Fonseca and “Vampire Diaries‘” David Alpay) who are reunited following their parents’ deaths and must overcome their fractured personal relationships in order to survive the literal ghosts from their past.
McIntyre will play the series-regular role of Reece Mason, a tough, driven detective in the Savannah Police Department who investigates the show’s central murder alongside his partner Jordan Terry. On the surface, Reece is a charming, Southern gentleman, but his personal connection to this case will unearth old tensions and spur Reece to take on anyone who challenges his authority.
