The pilot comes from former Supernatural showrunner Jeremy Carver and Warner Bros. Television. Suicide Squad and The Beekeeper filmmaker David Ayer will direct the episode.
“American Blue will take audiences inside a gritty and authentic police drama, reflecting the myriad challenges in policing today,” said Head of Max Original Programming Sarah.
The streamer is looking to mimic the success they’ve found with The Pitt, with Sarah saying they want to create “longer seasons” that “will allow viewers to sink deeply into this world across multiple episodes and to return to it on an annual basis.”
