BY SARAH PASSINGHAM TV Media T he formula of the po- lice procedural gets a spiritual new twist when "The InBe- tween" premieres on NBC on Wednesday, May 29. The dra- ma series follows Cassie Bed- ford, portrayed by Australian actress and comedian Harriet Dyer ("Love Child"), who ex- periences uncontrollable vi- sions of the future and the past and visits from spirits desper- ately seeking her help. To make use of her unique tal- ents, she assists her father, Det. Tom Hackett, and his for- mer FBI partner as they tackle the most complicated crimes in their city. Together they fol- low her visions and seek jus- tice for those who have con- tacted Bedford through the "inbetween." The reason behind Bed- ford's involvement in criminal investigations is her father's belief that her psychic gift can be used for good. Det. Hackett is portrayed by British actor Paul Blackthorne, best known for his role of Quentin Lance in "Arrow." Of the cast, Black- thorne is the most experi- enced with TV clairvoyants as he guested in an episode of psychic drama "Medium" in 2005. As for Dyer, she may be a new face to North American audiences, but she has a long list of acting credits, including dramatic and comedic roles in her home country of Australia. She is best known for portray- ing Patricia Saunders in the hospital drama "Love Child" and April in the cop comedy series "No Activity," which was adapted for North Ameri- can audiences by CBS All Ac- cess in 2017. Dyer's comedic experience has served her well, particularly in series that strongly rely on the authentic- ity of its characters to work, such as "The Other Guy," on Australian streaming service Stan. This same authenticity will no doubt help ground a performance as abstract as a medium for "The InBetween," which could certainly become over-the-top in less capable hands. The lone American in the main cast is Justin Cornwell, who recently starred in TNT's "I Am the Night." As Hackett's partner, former FBI agent Damien Asante in "The InBe- tween," Cornwell portrays an outsider who's new to the fa- ther-daughter supernatural crime-fighting team of Hack- ett and Bedford. This isn't Cornwell's first time channel- ling a cop character; he starred as Det.
