Jerry O’Connell and Sydney Poitier to headline police procedural Carter

July 3, 2017 by Gary Collinson

Variety is reporting that Jerry O’Connell and Sydney Poitier have signed on to headline Carter, a new police procedural series from Sony Pictures Television Networks.

The series will see O’Connell starring as “a detective on a hit American TV show who is forced to return to his hometown after an embarrassing public meltdown in Hollywood. Once back, Carter taps into his acting experience to become a real-life detective, partnering with long-time friend and no-nonsense veteran of the force, Sam St. Clair (Poitier).”

“Our channels are hungry for easy to watch, easy to program procedurals, and Carter more than fills that void,” states Marie Jacobson, exec VP, programming and production for Sony Pictures Television Networks. “It delivers both star power and self-contained crime stories with a comedic edge. The scripts are smart and charming, and Jerry and Sydney are great together. We love this show for our channels.”

Carter has been created by Garry Campbell (MADtv), and has a ten episode initial order from Sony.
