Sam Waterston, Jill Hennessy Appear in René Balcer’s “Jo” (Photos)

Here are two advance photos from René Balcer’s new crime/drama series “Jo” which stars Jean Reno (as the title character) and co-stars Tom Austen. The photos feature Law & Order’s Sam Waterston (as a guest star) and Jill Hennessy (a series regular). In the photos, Sam’s character finds himself on the wrong side of the law (that’s should be an interesting change for him); Jill plays a very counter-intuitive role.


The eight-episode series was shot between July and November 2012 in Paris, in English, and will premiere in over 150 countries (including the US) beginning in the spring 2013. René – who was executive producer of Law & Order, Law & Order Criminal Intent, and Law & Order LA – created this new series and is executive producer. Law & Order alums Diana Son and Ed Zuckerman also worked on some scripts. A trailer is also included below; “Jo” looks to be a series that Law & Order fans would enjoy!
