TNT has greenlit Cold Justice (working title) a new unscripted procedural drama that follows two top-notch female investigators as they dig into murder cases that have lingered for years without answers and closure. The network has ordered eight episodes of Cold Justice, which comes to TNT from Wolf Films and Magical Elves. Cold Justice is executive-produced by Emmy® winners Dick Wolf (Law & Order, Chicago Fire), Dan Cutforth & Jane Lipsitz (Top Chef, Fashion Star) and Tom Thayer (Hitchcock, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee).

In small towns across America, cases involving violent crimes can often go cold because of a lack of funding, resources and state-of-the-art forensic technology. With the right resources, though, many of these cold cases can be re-opened and solved, bringing dangerous criminals to justice and providing closure for the families of their victims.

In TNT’s Cold Justice, Kelly Siegler, a Texas prosecutor for 21 years who has successfully tried 68 murder cases, and Yolanda McClary, a crime scene investigator who worked more than 7,000 cases in her 26 years on the Las Vegas Police Department, are putting their vast knowledge and experience to work helping local law-enforcement officers and families of violent-crime victims get to the truth. With a fresh set of eyes on old evidence, superior interrogation skills and access to advanced DNA technology and lab testing, Siegler and McClary are determined to bring about a legal and emotional resolution. Taking on a different unsolved crime each week, they will carefully re-examine evidence, question suspects and witnesses, and chase down leads in order to solve cases that would have otherwise remained cold indefinitely.

Plans call for Cold Justice to join the TNT lineup in late summer 2013. The network has three other unscripted series slated for 2013, beginning in February with Boston’s Finest, an unscripted look at Boston law-enforcement officers from executive producer Donnie Wahlberg. This summer, TNT will launch The Hero, a competition series headlined by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and 72 Hours, a race-against-the-clock competition show set in the wild.

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!
