"Professor Miller is a brilliant geneticist suffering from a terminal illness," executive producer Josh Berman says. Miller wants to be cryogenically frozen before her body and mind deteriorates as her illness progresses.
"Jane and [the] team use cutting-edge law to represent their client, only to find out that Professor Miller has one big secret she's never told anyone," says Berman.
Reuben, 46, recently starred in TNT's Raising the Bar and, previously, ER and 1-800-Missing.
