Stockard Channing (A Fonder Heart, The West Wing) will star in the NBC pilot for Ron Moore’s 17th Precinct. The show is described as “an ensemble cop drama” “set in a fictional town of Excelsior where magic and with supernatural elements rule over science.”
Yes, this is the same series that was described early on as an adult Harry Potter-esque show though 17th Precinct will not have anything to do with the J.K. Rowling universe aside from sharing the existence of magic.
Channing scored the role of Mira, “a fiercely intelligent former homicide detective who’s working in the robbery division of the 17th Precinct.” 17th Precinct is a Sony TV project and is in production in Vancouver.
