L.A.’s Finest Finds U.K. Home

Sony Pictures Television (SPT) has inked a deal with Fox Networks Group for the U.K. rights to L.A.’s Finest, the female-led action series from the universe of Jerry Bruckheimer’s Bad Boys franchise.

The 13-episode series will kick off in July on FOX in the U.K. It stars Gabrielle Union as LAPD detective Syd Burnett, who gets paired up with a new partner, Nancy McKenna, played by Jessica Alba. Taking on the most dangerous criminals in Los Angeles while skirting the rules (and speed limits), Syd and Nancy become a force to be reckoned with—on the streets and in each other’s lives.

L.A.’s Finest is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer Television and 2.0 Entertainment in association with SPT.

“We’re excited to have Fox Networks Group on board and think this action-packed series will be a great fit for their audience,” said Holly Comiskey, senior VP of distribution and networks at SPT for the U.K. and Ireland.

Shoshana Wilson, director of programming, scheduling and acquisitions at Fox Networks Group Europe, added: “With sparkling on-screen chemistry from Gabrielle Union and Jessica Alba, L.A.’s Finest is a fun and fresh action series that FOX viewers will love. With amazing production values and from the makers of Bad Boys and the CSI franchise, the series is in keeping with FOX’s Hollywood heritage.”
