Amy Acker on Happy Town!


IMTA alum Amy Acker is starring in a new ABC drama called Happy Town! The show takes place in a small town where many unsolved kidnappings have taken place. After five years of no kidnappings, new crimes start to happen. Amy plays Rachel Conroy in this creepy new show.

Amy recently did an interview with MyTV where she shared this: "

"You’ve got a new series for ABC [Happy Town] coming down the pike, how’s that shaping up and how does it compare to what you’ve done before? I think its gonna be really exciting. It has a lot of the same qualities as 'Dollhouse' and 'Alias'; a lot of interesting characters. Everybody changes a lot throughout the story. It’s set in a small town. I think its gonna be really good. Everybody keeps saying “There’s really nothing like this”, those are the fun shows to be on. It’s a real mystery, you don’t really know if there’s going to become a magical element or what. [Happy Town, which shoots in Ontario, premieres on ABC in April]. "
