Leighton concluded, “And hopefully achieving here,” referring to her new procedural drama show Good Cop Bad Cop which premieres on February 19, 2025, on The CW. The synopsis of the show reveals that the series is “centred around Lou and Henry, an odd couple sister and brother detective team in a small Pacific Northwest police force” with a lot on their hands.
They are forced to deal with not just “colourful residents” and “a lack of resources” but also “their own complicated dynamics.” If all of that wasn’t enough, their police chief, Big Hank also happens to be their father. Luke Cook plays her brother Henry while Clancy Brown portrays their father.
Leighton has been married to Adam Brody since 2014 and they have two kids together. He is also expected to make a cameo appearance where his character mistakes the brother-sister duo for a married couple, to their total horror. The show will have a total of eight episodes and is created by John Quaintance and Jeff Wachtel and has been directed by Trent O’Donnell.
