What is the new crime series about? Deputy Inspector Regina Haywood works in New York for the 74th Precinct. It serves Brooklyn, which is why the job is close to Haywood’s heart. She herself has family here and grew up here. Their vision: The area should not only protect the area, but also become a part of it. But not only the skepticism of the citizens towards the New York police makes their task difficult.
Unlike “NCIS”, “East New York” takes place in a closed area, namely in Brooklyn. Nevertheless, the series is met with great interest. This could also be due to the cast. With Richard Kind (“Two and a Half Men”) and Jimmy Smits (“Star Wars”), two top-class actors were engaged. Inspector Haywood, meanwhile, is played by Amanda Warren, who starred in the Oscar-winning drama Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and also starred in NCIS: New Orleans. “East New York” is penned by “Law & Order” author William M. Finkelstein and “Big Sky” author Mike Flynn.
Like most CBS series, “East New York” will certainly find its way to Germany, although nothing is official yet. With the cancellation of “Magnum PI”, “Legacies” and many others, however, a few places have also become vacant on German television.
Recently, the series had to struggle with problems behind the scenes. Two producers have been forced to leave their posts after allegations of inappropriate behavior towards other crew members.
