Angie Tribeca is an American comedy television series created by Steve Carell and Nancy Walls Carell. The series, a satire of police procedural shows, stars Rashida Jones as the titular police detective Angie Tribeca. It also stars Hayes MacArthur, Jere Burns, Deon Cole and Andrée Vermeulen in supporting roles. The series was announced by TBS in mid 2014 with a ten-episode order.[2] Angie Tribeca premiered on a 25-hour 10-episode marathon on January 17–18, 2016. It was renewed for a second season, which premiered on June 6, 2016.[3] On July 6, 2016, TBS renewed the series for a third season.[4]
Plot
Angie Tribeca is a 10-year veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department's elite RHCU (Really Heinous Crimes Unit) who is assigned a new partner.[1]
Development and production
The series was announced as "... a hilarious spoof of police procedurals in the spirit of Police Squad!". A few gags presented in the preview reel were cited as similar to the classic TV cop show satire Sledge Hammer!.[5]
Originally intended to premiere in late 2015,[6][7] In November 2015, it was announced that the first season of 10 episodes would run uninterrupted on the network and be released through video on demand starting on January 17, 2016.[8] A second season of an additional 10 episodes was announced, which premiered on June 6, 2016.[9][10][11]
In season two, the recurring screaming cop who appears at the end of the title sequence was removed.
