Stumptown

***Stumptown*** is an American crime drama television series based on the graphic novels of the same name. The series created by Greg Rucka, Matthew Southworth, and Justin Greenwood, and adapted for television by writer-producer Jason Richman. The title *Stumptown* is a nickname for the city of Portland, Oregon, where the series is set. It premiered on September 25, 2019 on ABC and currently airs on Wednesdays at 10:00 PM.

In May 2020, the series was renewed for a second season. However, on September 17, 2020, ABC reversed their renewal and announced that production of season two would not go forward.

## Official Synopsis

Based on the "Stumptown" graphic novel series, “Stumptown” follows Dex Parios (Cobie Smulders) – a strong, assertive and sharp-witted army veteran with a complicated love life, gambling debt, and a brother to take care of in Portland, Oregon. Her military intelligence skills make her a great PI, but her unapologetic style puts her in the firing line of hardcore criminals and not quite in alliance with the police.

* Jake Johnson as Grey McConnell
* Tantoo Cardinal as Sue Lynn Blackbird

## Production

Writer Jason Richman produces the series with Ruben Fleischer and David Bernad (*The District*), Greg Rucka (author of the “Stumptown” graphic novel series), Matthew Southworth, and Justin Greenwood (illustrators of the “Stumptown” graphic novel series).

James Griffiths is an executive producer and directed the pilot. The series is produced by ABC Studios. ABC Studios is a part of Disney Television Studios, a collection of studios comprised of 20th Century Fox Television, ABC Studios, and Fox 21 Television Studios.

The show is not a direct adaptation of the story from the comics. At San Diego Comic-Con 2019, Rucka said that "the comic is the comic," while Bernad added that the pilot deviates from the graphic novel, but the series "keeps the spirit of it."

## Notes and Trivia
