14 DAY TRIAL // NBC has ordered a new scripted series called “Shades of Blue” starring Jennifer Lopez. The project is set for 13 episodes with the possibility of a second season if things work out and ratings are good.
The project has been described as a “complex police series that centers on Harlee McCrod (Lopez), a single mother and detective recruited to work undercover for the FBI's anti-corruption task force.”
The action is going to be focusing on Jennifer' character. “Part of a close-knit unit known for its conviction record, Harlee has become compromised by her colleagues – all of whom also pitch in to help her raise her daughter – and finds herself faced with the moral dilemma of working against her cop brothers in order to redeem herself.”
E! confirms that Jennifer is also going to act as an executive producer on the project. The details on when exactly this series is going to air are still unavailable since the deal was finalized just last week, but more than likely, it's going to be sometime in the 2015-2016 TV season.
