"CHAOS" debuts Friday night on CBS

Tulsa-born and bred actor Tim Blake Nelson will star in the new TV series “CHAOS,” premiering at 7 p.m. Friday on CBS (KWTV-9 in Oklahoma City).

“CHAOS” is a comedic drama about a group of rogue CIA spies in the Clandestine Administration and Oversight Services (CHAOS) who combat threats to national security amidst bureaucratic gridlock, rampant incompetence and political infighting. The team tackles high-risk foreign intelligence missions using manipulation, deception and wit to succeed.

Here’s the series synopsis:

Rick Martinez (Freddy Rodriguez) was dismayed when his dream job as a spy was eliminated on his first day; however, CIA Deputy Director H.J. Higgins (Kurtwood Smith), a calculating mastermind and the head of CHAOS, recognizes Rick’s unique skill set and places him as an unwitting mole inside the department. Martinez joins the team under Michael Dorset (Eric Close), a psychologist-turned-CIA operative and a tactical genius motivated by pure paranoia.
