This is a timely project, in light of the recent unrest in North Carolina and California following police shootings. ABC has put in development Protect & Serve, a drama from the Secrets & Lies duo of executive producer/showrunner Barbie Kligman and executive producer Aaron Kaplan.
Written by Kligman and her husband, actor Billy Malone (Murder In the First), Protect & Serve, from ABC Studios and Kaplan’s Kapital Entertainment, is set in the aftermath of a riot in an American city triggered by the shooting of an unarmed man by cops. The police department is dismantled and a newly appointed Police Chief is tasked with rebuilding from scratch. The task is daunting, but with his unwavering faith in people and the community, and a brand new optimistic approach — there is hope. Kligman, Kaplan and Dana Honor executive produce.
