Following a break-out premiere season, Spectrum Originals in the US has greenlit a second season for its debut series, L.A.’s Finest.

All 13 episodes of the Sony Pictures Television-produced hit drama will be available to binge free and on-demand to Spectrum’s subscribers when season one finales Monday, 17 June.

Season One followed Syd Burnett (Union), who was last seen in Miami taking down a drug cartel and left her complicated past to become an LAPD detective. Paired with a new partner, Nancy McKenna (Alba), a working mom with an equally complex history, Syd was forced to confront how her unapologetic lifestyle was masking a greater personal secret. Taking on the most dangerous criminals in Los Angeles while skirting the rules, and speed limits, Syd and Nancy became a force to be reckoned with – on the streets, and in each other’s lives.

Series stars Gabrielle Union and Jessica Alba are also executive producers.

“We’re thrilled L.A.’s Finest has resonated with our subscribers in such a major way,” said Katherine Pope, head of Spectrum Originals. “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. 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.”

SPT president Jeff Frost added, “We are overwhelmed by the audience’s response to LA’s Finest. 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.”
