“L.A.’s Finest” Renewed For Season 2

Jessica Alba and Gabrielle Union in "L.A.'s Finest"

L.A.’s Finest has been renewed for a second season by Spectrum Originals.

Despite a major on-set accident and a less than favorable reception by critics, the cop show will return for another season. 

Series stars Gabrielle Union and Jessica Alba confirmed the news Friday at the opening night of the 59th Monte Carlo Television Festival.

“We’re thrilled L.A.’s Finest has resonated with our subscribers in such a major way. When I first saw the pilot — a show about two strong women learning to trust and support each other and still getting into plenty of trouble — I knew I’d follow them anywhere,” said Katherine Pope, head of Spectrum Originals. “Kudos to Gabrielle and Jessica, as stars and executive producers, along with creators Brandon Sonnier and Brandon Margolis and everyone else involved, for helping us launch our first original series and making the decision to greenlight a second season incredibly easy.”

“We are overwhelmed by the audience’s response to L.A.’s Finest,” said SPT President Jeff Frost. ”Gabrielle and Jessica are brilliant together and our incredible showrunners Brandon Sonnier, Brandon Margolis, and Pam Veasey did an amazing job of crafting an action-packed and riveting season one. We can’t wait to work again with this amazing team of prolific and talented executive producers and dive into the next chapter for Syd and Nancy.”

The last two episodes of its 13-episode first season will air tonight.
