In a refreshing take on the mystery-comedy genre, The CW introduces Good Cop/Bad Cop, where sibling rivalry meets crime-solving in the quaint town of Eden Vale. The series features former Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester alongside Luke Cook from Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

Henry (Cook), having made a name in the Seattle police, is reluctantly partnered with his sister Lou (Meester), who chose to stay and assist their father, Big Hank, the town’s police chief.
