A drama series is in development at NBC based on the life of Karen Lynch, one of San Francisco’s first female police officers, Variety has learned exclusively.
Raised by a schizophrenic mother, the series would follow Lynch as she ironically uses her eccentric upbringing to survive amongst the hostile, chauvinistic men in blue who would like nothing more than to see her and her fellow female cadets fail. The series is inspired by Lynch’s book, “Good Cop, Bad Daughter: Memoirs of an Unlikely Police Officer.”
Peter Horton created the series and will write and executive produce alongside Reed Steiner and Dyan Traynor. Mark Morgan will also serve as executive producer. Universal Television will produce.
