NBC is developing an untitled drama series based on the Finnish series 66th North Precinct, according to Deadline. The project comes from The Irrational creator and showrunner Arika Lisanne Mittman, Elevate Entertainment and Universal Television.
The series is described as a darkly comedic procedural about a former pro boxer who returns with her family to her southern Colorado hometown to work as a Sheriff's deputy.
