USA Network plans to launch its new buddy cop series, Common Law, on Friday, May 11th at 10pm. It’ll follow Fairly Legal, the Sarah Shahi series. The cable channel ordered 12 episodes for the first season of Common Law.
Starring Michael Ealy and Warren Kole, USA had originally planned to debut Common Law on January 26th but decided to delay it until the summer where other USA shows have found success. USA also plans to premiere their new Political Animals drama during the warmer months.
Plot
Despite their differences, this odd couple set of detectives are incredible at what they love most – enforcing the law – and have a seven-year track record as the LAPD’s finest in the Robbery-Homicide Division. But when their constant bickering begins to have a major impact on their caseload, their new-age captain (McGee) institutes mandatory couples’ therapy to bring back the flame in their “work marriage.” Tough-as-nails therapist Dr. Ryan (Walger) is brought in to help them understand and resolve their conflicts and confront their demons in order to enhance their ability to continue solving crimes.
