As a fan who grew up binge-watching Gossip Girl and the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, I can hardly contain my excitement for Leighton Meester’s return to TV in Good Cop/Bad Cop! The concept of a brother-sister cop duo, with their father as the tough police chief, sounds like a fresh take on the classic cop drama. And having it filmed in Queensland, Australia, adds an intriguing twist to the Pacific Northwest setting.
Actress Leighton Meester is coming back to television screens with her role in an upcoming police drama titled “Good Cop/Bad Cop“. Here are some key details about the show:
In recent times, The CW has experienced significant changes due to major transitions behind the scenes following Nexster, as well as the termination of numerous entertaining series. Now, the network is focusing on procuring productions from Canada and various other countries to strengthen their position.
As someone with extensive experience in law enforcement and family dynamics, I must say that the series “Such a Series” sounds intriguing. The Good Cop/Bad Cop dynamic between Lou and Henry, a brother-sister duo serving on the same police force under their demanding father, the chief, seems like an engaging exploration of sibling rivalry and professional camaraderie. The setting in a Pacific Northwest town adds a unique twist to the storyline, and I’m curious to see how their personal and professional lives intertwine. I’m looking forward to delving deeper into this series that promises to offer a fresh take on police procedurals with a touch of family drama.
In this production, Leighton Meester portrays Lou, a role she’s famously associated with for her performance as Blair Waldorf on the popular CW series “Gossip Girl.” Luke Cook takes on the character Henry, who gained recognition through his portrayal of Lucifer in Netflix’s “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.” Lastly, the seasoned actor Clancy Brown will bring Big Hank to life, their on-screen father.
The series will be shot in Queensland, Australia, with a release date set for 2025 on networks like The CW, Roku Channel, and Stan. Recently, it has brought on additional well-known actors to further develop its captivating ensemble cast.
Who else is starring in Good Cop/Bad Cop?
As reported by Deadline, I’m thrilled to announce that an exciting group of talented actors has joined our show! This amazing lineup includes Devon Terrell, Grace Chow, Blazey Best, Philippa Northeast, William McKenna, Shamita Siva, and Scott Lee. Each one brings a unique flair to the table, making me eagerly anticipate the upcoming season.
Actor Terrell is set to embody the character of Detective Shane Carson, a mix of charisma and nerdy traits. Known for his roles in Netflix’s “Cursed,” where he portrayed a significant character, he also starred as Barack Obama in the biopic “Barry.” Additionally, Terrell has graced our screens with his performance in the Sundance hit, “What’s Inside.”
“Best” refers to a character named “Big Hank,” who has a rather mysterious Russian girlfriend named Nadia. Since most of Best’s work is based in Australia (like the TV show “Between Two Worlds“), this will be her debut for U.S. viewers, marking her first significant exposure to American audiences.
Lee portrays the beloved character “Officer Joe Bradley,” who has been in service for a long time. Originating from Australia, he is renowned for his roles on the extended television series Home and Away, as well as various other Australian TV productions and movies.
In the upcoming role, McKenna will embody the character of Officer Sam Szczepkowski, a new recruit who’s clearly jittery. Previously, this talented actor has graced our screens in “The Messenger,” a series broadcast on Australia’s ABC in 2023, and also in the popular sci-fi series “Nowhere Boys.”
Siva is portraying Officer Sarika Ray, who is depicted as fearlessly dedicated. Notably recognized for her work on Australian stages, Officer Sarika Ray is additionally a talented cabaret artist. The production may incorporate some aspects of this versatile background into her character.
Chow portrays “a small but eerie EVPD dispatcher named Lily Lim,” an accomplished Australian stage actor who’s known for appearing in TV series such as “The Twelve” and “Mystery Road: Origin“.
In the end, Dr. Marci Laine from the Northeast region is described as intelligent, fashionable, and humorous, holding a special place in Henry’s heart. Coming soon to Netflix’s drama series, Territory and Paper Doll, streaming on Paramount+.
The predominantly Australian cast of this show is intriguing, with Meester and Brown being the sole American actors. Additionally, Queensland serving as a stand-in for the Pacific Northwest adds an element of curiosity. As we wait for its premiere, the unique dynamic of the cast and setting make “Good Cop/Bad Cop” a series worth keeping an eye on.
Good Cop/Bad Cop will premiere on The CW, the Roku Channel, and Stan in 2025.
