USA Network is no stranger to undercover agents. Its slate of hit programs, such as Burn Notice and Covert Affairs, features fantastic characters who must navigate lives where nothing is what it seems. USA’s newest addition to the family, Graceland, is no exception. The show, which premieres Thursday, June 6th, at 10/9c, is bound to become another example of why USA has been the #1 cable network for seven years running.

From White Collar creator Jeff Eastin, Graceland features a cast of amazing actors, including Daniel Sunjata (Rescue Me), Aaron Tveit (Les Misérables), Vanessa Ferlito (Stand Up Guys), Brandon Jay McLaren (Falling Skies), Manny Montana (Chicago Code), and Serinda Swan (Breakout Kings). The show centers on the lives of an elusive group of undercover agents from three different government agencies—the FBI, DEA, and ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement)—all of whom live and operate under one roof. From the outside, the titular house seems like any other idyllic beachfront property. But inside, it is a place where everyone has a secret, nothing is as it seems, and trust is a matter of life and death.

In the pilot episode, we meet FBI rookie Mike Warren (Tveit), who has just graduated at the top of his class. Expecting to be handed a desk job in DC, he is instead shipped off to "Graceland" and thrown right into his first undercover assignment, working under legendary FBI agent Paul Briggs (Sunjata). Warren quickly learns that Briggs—who is unusually Zen for a senior agent—has a notorious hatred for the rule book, and will go to any lengths to protect “Graceland” from the outside world. Thus begins Warren's education on all the things they didn't teach him about in the academy.

Graceland premieres Thursday, June 6th, at 10/9c, only on USA. For more information on the show click here.
