| In Dark Blue, Dylan McDermott stars as Carter Shaw, the head of a crack undercover team of police officers who are so covert, many of their own colleagues don’t even know they are involved. Shaw is a deeply wounded character, having lost his wife and much of his former life as he struggles to bring down bad guys through complex undercover assignments. His team includes a recently married cop (Hardwick) who struggles with personal relationships he has developed while undercover; a shoot-from-the-hip officer (Marshall-Green) whose activities make fellow team members wonder if he has gone over to the bad side; and a green patrol cop brought in because of her excellent skill in lying and a shady past (Aycox). DARK BLUE comes to TNT from Warner Horizon Television, with prolific producer Jerry Bruckheimer (the CSI series, Without a Trace), Jonathan Littman (the CSI series, Cold Case), Danny Cannon (the CSI series, Eleventh Hour) and Doug Jung (Big Love) serving as executive producers. KristieAnne Reed (Eleventh Hour) is co-executive producer. Cannon directed the pilot episode. The series co-stars Logan Marshall-Green (The O.C.), Omari Hardwick (TNT’s Saved) and Nicki Aycox (Supernatural). The show premieres on TNT on Wednesday, July 15th at 10/9c. Dylan McDermott is a Golden Globe® winner and Emmy® nominee for his work on the long-running, critically acclaimed series The Practice. In addition to DARK BLUE, he will next be seen in Christopher B. Landon’s independent film Burning Palms, a satire about Los Angelenos as told through five interlacing stories. This marks McDermott’s second project for TNT, having starred opposite Julianna Margulies in the network’s acclaimed miniseries The Grid. His other television credits include Big Shots. In 2008, McDermott starred in Nicky Silver’s Three Changes at Playwrights Horizons. He earned a Drama League Award nomination for his work in Eve Ensler’s The Treatment, which opened On the big screen, McDermott has co-starred in the Pang Brothers’ The Messengers, Wonderland, Jodie Foster’s Home for the Holidays, Steel Magnolias, Hamburger Hill, Miracle on 34th Street and Wolfgang Petersen’s In The Line of Fire.
