Monica Raymund is headed back to the small screen, and this time, she’s joining the world of premium cable TV. High Town, starring the former Chicago Fire actress was among two series orders at Starz on Monday.
The series order comes just two months after Raymund landed the lead role … back when the series was going under the title P-Town. It follows the life of Jackie Quinones (Raymund), “a lesbian National Marine Fisheries Services officer, happy to use her gun and badge to pick up tourist chicks in “P-Town” — the gay mecca of Provincetown, MA.”
Things take a wild turn for her after she finds a dead body which is “collateral damage of the opioid epidemic.” Jackie is then inspired to solve the murder, all while facing “her own addictive behaviors.”
Raymund’s exit from the firefighter drama was a shock for many fans, but it sounded like the actress was ready to spread her wings and take on different roles.
High Town is penned by Rebecca Cutter (Gotham, The Mentalist), who is also on board to executive produce with Gary Lennon, Jerry Bruckheimer, Jonathan Littman, and KristieAnne Reed.
