Angela Bassett and Courtney B. Vance producing new cop drama

by

As a long-time fan of gritty cop dramas and Angela Bassett’s powerhouse performances, I can hardly contain my excitement about “Keats”! Having followed the career trajectories of both Angela Bassett and Courtney B. Vance, it’s clear that their combined talents will make this series sizzle with authenticity and emotion.

Hopefully, Bassett Vance Productions is set to introduce “Keats,” a fresh cop drama, on our television screens. The dynamic duo of Angela Bassett and Courtney B. Vance are collaborating for this exciting police series.

The project is at present being developed by NBC and Universal TV. As of now, it hasn’t been commissioned as a full series, but seems to be in the initial stages, possibly the pilot phase. Given that it’s backed by Bassett and Vance, it’s expected to be quite impressive.

What is Keats about?

According to Deadline, Alex Keats, a fourth-generation police officer, is stepping away from her badge and family. Following the passing of her mother, she finds herself returning to Philadelphia to lay her mother to rest. However, Alex has doubts about the official cause of death, which was reported as suicide.

In my quest to unravel the truth behind my mother’s disappearance, I find myself revisiting old memories and questioning choices I made in the past. This journey has led me to a sobering realization: perhaps I was hasty in walking away from what I once knew.

It’s all about the pilot first for Keats

Everyone’s eagerly waiting for the debut of this fresh TV show. First, it must progress to a pilot episode, followed by getting selected to become a full-fledged series.

TV landscape has undergone significant shifts over the past few years. Traditional pilot seasons are no longer limited to considering shows for the upcoming season only. For instance, CBS is already scouting for series to air during the 2025-2026 season, whereas Fox moved a couple of shows from their initial return in the previous season to the 2024-2025 season instead.

It seems NBC might be preparing for its lineup in the 2025-2026 television seasons, as they have already ordered series for “Grosse Pointe Garden Society” and “Suits LA”, but haven’t specified which season these shows will debut. Could it be that they are considering “Keats” for an upcoming season or planning even further ahead?

It’s still uncertain for now, but there’s a possibility that we might witness the debut of Keats during the 2025-2026 season, assuming it gets produced then.
