Lopez’s last scripted project was starring in and executive producing the cop drama series Shades of Blue, which recently ended after three seasons on NBC and was produced by Nuyorican Productions and Universal TV.
Deadline brings word that NBC is developing a new cop drama, Blood Ties, from executive producers Jennifer Lopez (Shades of Blue), Vincent Laresca, and Tom Szentgyorgi (The Mentalist).
Lopez and Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas’ Nuyorican Productions will executive produce with Szentgyorgi, Lopez’ manager Benny Medina, Universal TV, and Jennifer Davisson for Appian Way with Appian’s Michael Hampton shepherding the project.
Blood Ties, written by Szentgyorgi, is a procedural crime show in the vein of NYPD Blue and is based on an idea by Laresca.
