The Code season 1: Release date, plot, cast, spoilers, trailer and everything else about new CBS show

CBS's upcoming legal drama offers an insight into the "military's brightest minds, who tackle the toughest legal challenges facing the US Marine Corps"

Legal dramas when done well make for a thrilling ride. From Aaron Korsh's 'Suits', one of the most popular legal dramas around, to Robert and Michelle King's legal and political drama 'The Good Wife', the genre has kept audience interest alive with relevant and gritty storylines.

CBS's upcoming drama 'The Code' mines the same territory but within the context of the US Marines. The show is about the military's brightest minds, who tackle the toughest legal challenges facing the US Marine Corps, and where in the courtroom, each attorney is trained as a prosecutor, a defence lawyer, an investigator — and a Marine.

Release date

'The Code' premieres on Tuesday, April 9, on the CBS Television Network. Beginning April 15, the show moves to Mondays.
