A few days after Netflix’s gut-wrenching cancelation of The Recruit, its showrunner and creator, Alexi Hawley, is letting the disappointment roll off like water off a duck’s back, and he’s ready to dive straight into another project. The man who is also behind the fan-favorite police procedural, The Rookie, is in the process of developing another network cop series, according to a new Deadline report. The yet-untitled series is in development at NBC and has already found its star in Jon Huertas, whom many will recognize for his role as Jack’s best friend, Miguel Rivas, in the Emmy Award-winning series This Is Us. Huertas, in addition to starring, will serve as executive producer alongside Hawley, with Rachel Abarbanell as co-executive producer.

Like The Rookie, the series will center on the LAPD but will tell a markedly different story as inspired by Candice Fox’s bestselling novel, Fire with Fire. Wendy Mericle (So Help Me Todd, Willow) will develop a script while serving as co-showrunner. The project already has an intriguing premise in place and it reads:

“When a pair of grieving parents hijack an LAPD forensics lab and threaten to start destroying evidence until the police find their missing daughter, an unlikely partnership between grizzled undercover cop Enrique Arroyo (Huertas) and rookie flame-out Lynette Lamb is forged as they race to solve this cold case before the situation explodes.”
