Introducing the Cast of ‘Samurai Girl’
ABC Family Has a New Miniseries
Remember Fallen, that little ABC Family miniseries about an adopted teenager who was half human and half angel? The fantasy drama was so successful during its premiere run it spawned a second “season” soon afterward. Well, the network is going to try to work that magic yet again this fall with a second potential franchise called Samurai Girl.
The latest six-episode project focuses on another adopted teenager, this one a young Japanese woman named Heaven (Jamie Chung). When she learns her adoptive father is not only a sadistic criminal but also likely responsible for her brother’s death, Heaven does what any smart girl would: she learns how to fight with a really big sword and heads out to seek justice.
That’s the simple version, of course. And even if Samurai Girl doesn’t get much deeper or more complex, I’m just as excited to see it as I was to see Fallen. The miniseries will air in six one-hour installments over the course of three consecutive nights, beginning on Friday, September 5. In the meantime, take a moment to meet the cast below.
