NYC 22 (pronounced NYC 2-2) is an American police procedural drama television series that aired on CBS from April 15 to August 11, 2012, as a mid-season replacement for CSI: Miami . [1] On May 13, 2012, CBS canceled the series after one season. [2]

Contents

Premise

The series follows a diverse group of rookie New York City Police Department (NYPD) officers as they patrol the streets of Upper Manhattan.

Cast and characters

Development and production

The series first appeared on the development slate at CBS in late 2010, under the name Rookies, after a report that CBS had purchased the series from creators Robert De Niro and Richard Price. [5] [6] In January 2011, the network placed a pilot order. [7]

Casting announcements began in mid-February, with Leelee Sobieski being cast as Jennifer Perry, one of the rookies. [8] Next to board the project were Judy Marte, Tom Reed, and Stark Sands, who all portray rookie cops. [9] Adam Goldberg joined the cast a week later as a former reporter turned rookie cop. [10] Terry Kinney signed on in mid-March as the field training officer for the rookies. [11]

CBS green-lighted production of the series in May 2011 under the new title The 2-2, [12] but the name was changed again when the network announced that the series would premiere on April 15, 2012, as NYC 22. [1] NYC 22 took over the timeslot of CSI: Miami, which had its season shortened slightly to make room for the new drama. [1] The series returned on July 7, 2012, to burn off the remaining episodes.

Critical reception

The show was met with mixed reviews, and holds a Metacritic score of 57 out of 100. [13]

Episodes

According to cast member Stark Sands, NYC 22 episodes were not originally aired in the order they were shot, which led to confusing character arcs. [14] The production order according to him is listed below in the second column.
