AEW STAR TO APPEAR ON DEBUT EPISODE OF CBS' 'EAST NEW YORK' TONIGHT

By Mike Johnson on 2022-10-02 15:10:00

AEW star Miro, billed under his real name of Miroslav Barnyashev, will appear in the pilot episode of the new CBS drama East New York, playing a character named Nikolai Dushkin.

Promotional material for the series notes, "From executive producers of “NYPD Blue,” East New York stars Amanda Warren as Deputy Inspector Regina Haywood, the newly promoted boss of the 74th Precinct in East New York – a working-class neighborhood on the edge of Brooklyn in the midst of social upheaval. With family ties to the area, Haywood is determined to deploy creative methods to protect her beloved community with the help of her officers and detectives. But first, she has the daunting task of getting them on board, as some are skeptical of her promotion, and others resist her methods of leadership. Her team includes her mentor, shrewd veteran two-star Chief John Suarez; Marvin Sandeford, a highly respected training officer and expert on the neighborhood; Tommy Killian, a detective with some old-school approaches to policing; Capt. Stan Yenko, Haywood’s gregarious and efficient right hand; Crystal Morales, an intuitive detective who can’t be intimidated; Andre Bentley, a trainee from an upper middle-class background; and ambitious patrol officer Brandy Quinlan, the sole volunteer to live in a local housing project as part of Haywood’s plan to bridge the gap between police and community. Regina Haywood has a vision: She and the squad of the 74th Precinct will not only serve and protect their community – they’ll also become part of it."

Miro filmed the episode back in March.  It will air at 9:30 PM EST tonight.
