James Remar and Timothy Bottoms also star.

The series has not been seen in the U.S. for decades. Featured guests include Gene Hackman, Robert Duvall, Martin Sheen, and Charles Durning. HAWK is the first of two early Reynolds series that the network will air, with episodes of the 1970 police procedural DAN AUGUST coming to getTV’s classic programming lineup in May.”
