Luke Mitchell to Lead THE CODE on CBS

Luke Mitchell, from NBC's BLINDSPOT, has been cast as a lead in CBS's upcoming military legal drama THE CODE, according to Variety.

Mitchell will be taking over the role of Capt. John "Abe" Abraham from Dave Annable, who played the role in the pilot. Capt. John "Abe" Abraham is described as a driven prosecutor for whom becoming a Marine is a longstanding family tradition and a responsibility he treats with devotion and passion.

THE CODE follows the military's brightest minds who take on our country's toughest legal challenges, inside the courtroom and out, in the only law office in the world where every attorney is trained as a prosecutor, a defense lawyer, an investigator and a Marine. Along with Mitchell, the series stars Anna Wood, Ato Essandoh, Phillipa Soo and Raffi Barsoumian. Craig Sweeny, Marc Webb, Carl Beverly, Sarah Timberman, and Craig Turk are executive producers for CBS Television Studios.

Besides his most recent stint on BLINDSPOT, Mitchell previously played Lincoln Campbell on the ABC-Marvel series AGENTS OF SHIELD. He has also starred in indie features like MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS and SEVEN MINUTES.
