Hilary Swank returns to series television in “Alaska Daily,” a too- earnest, tropey drama that’s well-intentioned but heavy-handed in checking all the requisite contextual boxes.Swank, 48, plays Eileen Fitzgerald, an abrasive, hard-charging investigative reporter for the (fictional) New York City newspaper The Vanguard. She’s digging into a five-star general who’s under consideration as the country’s next Secretary of Defense.

Hilary Swank made an exciting announcement on Wednesday, revealing she's pregnant with twins! But weeks before her pregnancy news, the two-time Oscar winner took over the ET mic for an exclusive set tour of her new ABC drama, .The drama series, which debuts Thursday, follows Swank's Eileen Fitzgerald, a talented and award-winning investigative journalist who leaves her high-profile New York life behind after a fall from grace to join a daily metro newspaper in Anchorage, Alaska, on a journey to find both personal and professional redemption. She soon finds herself at the center of a years-old cold case involving the death of a missing woman who was abducted when she was a teenager. «I call my character, whose name is Eileen, a truth seeker,» Swank says to the ET camera as she shows off the Vancouver set, before referring to the mystery at the center of her quest. «So, this is what brings her here.

Joe Otterson TV Reporter With the launch of “Alaska Daily” — the new drama series starring Academy Award winner Hillary Swank and hailing from Academy Award winner Tom McCarthy — ABC is shining a spotlight on an important issue: violence against Native women in the U.S. Swank plays an investigative journalist who takes a job at a daily metro paper in Alaska, where she becomes embroiled in a mystery involving murder and a string of unsolved disappearances. Simran Sethi, ABC Enteratinment’s executive vice president of programming and content strategy, said that the show was inspired by a series of articles published by the Anchorage Daily News, and that the lack of media attention around the crises facing Native women helped push ABC into picking up the show.

“This is exactly why local journalism matters,” big city investigative journalist Eileen (Hilary Swank, “Boys Don’t Cry,” “Million Dollar Baby”) proclaims to one of her new co-workers towards the end of the pilot episode of “Alaska Daily.” This overly earnest, yet nonetheless true maxim is the beating heart of Tom McCarthy’s latest foray into television.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic Tom McCarthy’s “Spotlight” is the single best film about journalism of our era. So while it comes as no surprise that the writer-director’s take on life at a daily paper for ABC is substantially better than the average 2020s network drama, it’s certainly good news. On the McCarthy-created “Alaska Daily,” Hilary Swank plays Eileen Fitzgerald, a high-powered newspaper reporter whose reporting comes into question in the pilot’s early going; her losing her job is as much about the claims against her work as it is about the fact that her sudden vulnerability opens up a conversation about her habit of talking down to colleagues. Suddenly, she’s spinning her wheels, endlessly reporting a book that may never see daylight; the conditions are perfect for her to accept the offer of a former mentor (“Scandal’s” Jeff Perry, excellent) to take a job in Anchorage.
