Allison Janney and Jurnee Smollett Go on a Manhunt in Trailer for Netflix Film Lou: Watch
“I wish I could say that some good came from what I did,” Allison Janney says in the trailer for Lou, Netflix’s upcoming action thriller. “In truth, I left the world a more dangerous place.” The clip keeps Lou’s official job title under wraps, but when a desperate mother (Jurnee Smollett) asks her to help locate her kidnapped daughter, it’s clear she’s some kind of dangerous badass.

The episode — which sees Josh Lyman (Whitford) obsess over the voting results in a small New Hampshire town — is an apt choice given the reason for this reunion. The special serves as a voter awareness campaign benefiting Michelle Obama’s When We All Vote non-...

Martin Sheen, Bradley Whitford, Allison Janney, Richard Schiff, Rob Lowe, Dulé Hill, and Janel Moloney, along with The West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin, will all come together for a special theatrical stage presentation of the season three episode “Hartsfield’s Landing”. The episode — which sees Josh (Whitford) obsess over the voting results in a small New Hampshire town — is an apt choice given the reason for this reunion. The special serves as a voter awareness campaign benefiting Michelle Obama’s When We All Vote non-profit, with the goal of increasing participation in the upcoming 2020 election. Obama herself will deliver a “special message” d...
