Lewis portrays Chief Sharon Ward, while Phillips is Detective Reg Butler, Hernandez is Detective Alvaro Diaz, Dietz is Beth Hubbard and Kotsur is Gus Severnson. FOX Entertainment, 20th Television and Anonymous Content are all behind the project with Chapter Eleven's Killen, Scott Pennington and author Ben Winters executive producing. (Deadline.com)
