Brody Wants To Know If Meester’s Character Is Married
The trailer begins with Lou insisting there’s a crime problem. Hank pushes back, saying there isn’t. Lou is clearly frustrated, though. She’s not impressed with the people she works with. It’s shown that they are indeed the bumbling sort. She asks for a partner, at least, although she immediately regrets her request when she realizes she’ll be teaming up with her brother.
The cast ofGood Cop/Bad Copalso includes Devon Terrell, Grace Chow, Blazey Best, Philippa Northeast, William McKenna, Shamita Siva, and Scott Lee.
Henry is shown to be abrasive, with lacking social skills. It’s clear that the two siblings don’t get along. As the trailer progresses, Lou and Henry appear to be working on a case. They’re stopped byNobody Wants Thisstar Adam Brody,who has been married to Meester since 2014. Brody’s character is a bit of a cowboy and he asks whether Lou and Henry are married. The siblings react to this, of course, with disgust.
Brody and Meester have acted together in the past, including in the sitcomSingle Parents, and the moviesLife Partners,The Oranges, andRiver Wild.
Good Cop/Bad Cophails from Jeff Wachtel’s Future Shack Entertainment and Australian producer Jungle Entertainment in association with ITV Studios. It’s executive produced by Wachtel, Trent O’Donnell, and Chloe Rickard.The project is part of the revamped CW’s focus on international productions, though it also represents Meester’s long-awaited return to a leading TV role.
It’s Good To See Meester Back
Although she’s popped up in varied TV and film roles sinceGossip Girlended, Meester hasn’t had a major TV role since the end of her ABC comedySingle Parents. That looks to change in the coming year, as she’ll be part ofThe Buccaneersseason 2in an undisclosed but significant role. She’s also set to appear in the pilot episode of the untitled HBO comedy pilot fromBottomsstar Rachel Sennott. Timed withGood Cop/Bad Cop, viewers could be seeing a lot more of a breakout teen drama star.
