FREDDY RODRIGUEZ, ERIC CLOSE, TIM BLAKE NELSON, JAMES MURRAY, CARMEN EJOGO, CHRISTINA COLE AND KURTWOOD SMITH STAR IN "CHAOS," A NEW COMEDIC DRAMA PREMIERING FRIDAY, APRIL 1

"Pilot" - After his new job at the CIA is cut on day one, Rick Martinez is enlisted by the CIA Deputy Director to be a mole in a team of unruly agents that he would love to fire. But, when the agents end up getting dirt on Rick, he's forced to play by their rules, on the series premiere of CHAOS, Friday, April 1 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

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. Rick Martinez was dismayed when his dream job as a spy was eliminated on his first day; however, CIA Deputy Director H.J. Higgins, 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, a psychologist-turned-CIA operative and a tactical genius motivated by pure paranoia. Working with Dorset is Scottish-born Billy Collins, decommissioned from the British Secret Service and deported from the United Kingdom; and Casey Malick, a 12-year veteran of the agency with an understated demeanor and the ability to transform into a "human weapon." While Martinez's instincts about who he can trust are constantly tested, he seems to have a worthy confidante in the new Deputy Director, Adele Ferrer, who appears to have his best interest at heart. Or, should he rely on officer Fay Carson, an alluring agent and an expert at deciphering people's "tells"? Attacking each assignment with unparalleled confidence and gusto, these operatives perform covert operations, exert political influence and eradicate all manner of evil - and that's just to survive the morning staff meeting.
