CBS and CTV’s The Bridge Promo Trailer

This has been out for awhile now and I meant to post it sooner.

BSC favorite John McFetridge (Dirty Sweet, Everybody Knows This is Nowhere, Swap) is a part of the writing team of a new show called The Bridge on CTV. The Bridge was picked up back in February by CBS as a part of the upcoming fall lineup.

In a post-Wire world it’s going to be tough for any cop show to carve out it’s own identity but The Bridge looks like it has potential to be good.

Synopsis:

Written by five-time Gemini Award winner and six-time nominee Alan Di Fiore (DA VINCI’S INQUEST, THE LIFE, THE HANDLER), THE BRIDGE peels away the veneer of a big-city police force to reveal the political machinations underneath. After the rank and file unanimously vote street cop Frank Leo (BATTLESTAR GALLACTICA’S Aaron Douglas) into office as union head, he begins his quest to put street cops first and clean up the force from the ground up. But the old boys’ network running the police force and the city’s self-serving politicians are not about to sit idly by while a former street cop makes up his own rules. Frank walks a thin blue line as he battles wiretaps and a concerted campaign to bring him down, letting nothing stop him from fulfilling his unwavering vow that when cops are in trouble, he will be there.

The Bridge’ stars Aaron Douglas (‘Battlestar Galactica,’ ‘Smallville‘) as outspoken union head Frank Leo; Paul Popowich (‘Angela’s Eyes,’ ‘I Me Wed‘) as Frank’s partner and confidante Tommy Dunn; Gemini-Award nominee Inga Cadranel (‘Rent-a-Goalie,’ ‘MVP‘) as Jill, the free-spirited cop on the force; Frank Cassini (Vice, ‘Intelligence‘) as Staff Sergeant Bernie Kantor; Theresa Joy (‘All The Good Ones Are Married‘, Sixty Days) as feisty tomboy Police Constable Billy; Ona Grauer (‘Stargate SG-1‘ and ‘Stargate Atlantis‘) as beautiful, passionate prosecutor Abby St. James; Michael Murphy (Away from Her, X-Men: The Last Stand) as Chief of Police, and political animal, Ed Wycoff; and two-time Emmy Award winner Stuart Margolin (‘The Rockford Files,’ ‘Tom Stone‘) as Frank’s father, Vic Leo.

I haven’t been able to find any firm dates on this as to when it is supposed to start, I’ve seen yesterday July 9th as a date and other mentions of the fall.

But as always when we know more so will you (albeit more timely).
