Kicking ass and taking names!
“We’re thrilled ‘L.A.’s Finest’ has resonated with our subscribers in such a major way. When I first saw the pilot – a show about two strong women learning to trust and support each other and still getting into plenty of trouble – I knew I’d follow them anywhere. Kudos to Gabrielle and Jessica, as stars and executive producers, along with creators Brandon Sonnier and Brandon Margolis and everyone else involved, for helping us launch our first original series and making the decision to greenlight a second season incredibly easy.”
Katherine Pope, head of Spectrum Originals
The Spectrum Original series ‘L.A.’s Finest has been renewed for a second season with the announcement taking place at the Opening Night of the 59th Monte Carlo Television Festival. Gabrielle Union and Jessica Alba are the Executive Producers and stars of the action series that continues the ‘Bad Boys’ universe from Jerry Bruckheimer. You’ll be able to watch all thirteen episodes of the Sony Pictures Television-produced hit drama exclusively to Spectrum’s subscribers on demand and streaming.
L.A.’s Finest followed Syd Burnett (Union), who was last seen in Miami taking down a drug cartel and left her complicated past to become an LAPD detective. Paired with a new partner, Nancy McKenna (Alba), a working mom with an equally complex history, Syd was forced to confront how her unapologetic lifestyle was masking a greater personal secret. Taking on the most dangerous criminals in Los Angeles while skirting the rules, and speed limits, Syd and Nancy became a force to be reckoned with – on the streets, and in each other’s lives.
“We are overwhelmed by the audience’s response to LA’s Finest. Gabrielle and Jessica are brilliant together and our incredible showrunners Brandon Sonnier, Brandon Margolis and Pam Veasey did an amazing job of crafting an action-packed and riveting season one. We can’t wait to work again with this amazing team of prolific and talented executive producers and dive into the next chapter for Syd and Nancy.”
Jeff Frost, SPT President
