Breathtakingly, beautiful Joanna Going recently hypnotized audiences as the resolute and equitable “First Lady Tricia Walker” in the critically acclaimed Emmy® nominated Netflix series, “House Of Cards” and returns to television this fall starring in DirecTV’s first scripted series in the gritty, provocative and highly anticipated “Kingdom.” Going plays hard-edged, drug addled, prostitute, “Christina Kulina,” the estranged wife of “Alvey Henderson” (Frank Grillo) and mother to “Jay and Nate” played by Nick Jonas (“The Jonas Brothers”) and Jonathan Tucker (“Parenthood”), set against the backdrop of a Mixed Martial Arts gym. Premiering Wednesday, October 8th, Going’s combination of brains, sex appeal and her captivating performance in the much talked about Fall series promises to steal the show from the minute she walks on screen and we would love to set up an interview!KINGDOM TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGIjEKrMeQM
