by Dana Abercrombie0

Kathryn Newton is having an incredible career. From Halt and Catch Fire to Ben is Back to Big Little Lies to Netflix’s upcoming series The Society, Netwon is a powerhouse actress. However, it’s her role as the fearless and determined Lucy Stevens, a hard-working reporter (accompanied by a Psyduck) who steals her scenes in Pokémon: Detective Pikachu.

The story begins when ace detective Harry Goodman goes mysteriously missing, prompting his 21-year-old son Tim played by Justice Smith to find out what happened. Aiding in the investigation is Harry’s former Pokémon partner, Detective Pikachu: a hilariously wise-cracking, adorable super-sleuth who is a puzzlement even to himself. Finding they are uniquely equipped to communicate with one another, Tim and Pikachu join forces on a thrilling adventure to unravel the tangled mystery.

The Koalition spoke to Netwon about her role ass a badass detective skills, her love of Pokémon and more.

Former genius and a woman of mystery and power, whose power is exceeded only by her mystery, Dana Abercrombie has been watching movies since birth (yes birth...we did say "genius"). Despite her secret desire of wanting to give it all up to become a gorgeous billionaire, Dana is most passionate politics about movies often times getting in many heated debates resulting in being thrown out of many gatherings. Despite having a degree in English AND Journalism (multi-tasking FTW!) from the University at Albany-SUNY, she is currently interested in perusing a degree at Yale Law School, because one should never give up on a dream of becoming a gorgeous billionaire...and knowing how to sue someone as a result of those heated debates.
