The former How I Met Your Mother star will play Dex Parios, a strong and assertive P.I. who solves the messes of others whilst neglecting her own troubled life.
Along with the aforementioned How I Met Your Mother series, Smulders has enjoyed a recurring role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Agent Maria Hill, who was last seen turning to dust at the end of Avengers: Infinity War.
According to The Wrap, Cobie Smulders is set to star in ABC’s Stumptown, a dramatic pilot from Jason Richman and Venom director Ruben Fleischer.
The character is described as “unapologetically sharp-witted” by the trade, a personality that fits Smulders quite nicely.
