61st Street – SAVED

The CW has saved the series from cancelation at AMC. The show was picked up for two seasons, with the first already having aired. Though the second was finished, the network cut it before it made it to air.

Season one will premiere on The CW this fall, while the second season will premiere in 2024.

Starring Courtney B Vance, 61st Street “is a propulsive thriller which courses through the dark heart of the infamous Chicago criminal justice system as police and prosecutors investigate a deadly drug bust that threatens to unravel the police department’s code of silence.”

“There was a lot of love and hard work that went into making 61st Street,” star Courtney B Vance shared, via THR. “I’m thrilled that The CW has enthusiastically given all 16 episodes of 61st Street a network home. With The CW, I’m confident that we will engage a universe of viewers who will celebrate the series with us. My cast, crew and I can’t wait.”

“61st Street is a gripping, star-studded premium drama led by a powerhouse performance from Courtney B. Vance and featuring an incredibly talented ensemble cast and creatively brilliant team of producers. We are proud The CW is now the broadcast home of 61st Street and cannot wait to introduce this series to a whole new audience,” The CW Entertainment president Brad Schwartz said.
