The first season of 61st Street aired on AMC before the network dropped it. A second season had already been ordered, and The CW picked up the rights to air it. It seems unlikely there will be a third season, but nothing has been announced. Will 61st Street be cancelled? Stay tuned.
A legal thriller series, the 61st Street TV show stars Mark O’Brien, Courtney B. Vance, Aunjanue Ellis, Andrene Ward-Hammond, Mark O’Brien, Holt McCallany, Bentley Green, and Jerod Haynes. The story is set in the dark heart of the infamous Chicago criminal justice system. After Officer Logan (O’Brien) kills an innocent man, attorney Franklin Roberts (Vance) agrees to represent him in hopes of putting Logan’s corrupt department on trial. But this alliance threatens to turn Franklin’s community and family against him.
