DESCRIPTION:

Stallone will executive produce and direct multiple episodes. Stephen Kay ("Sons of Anarchy," "The Shield") is set to write the pilot. "The Tenderloin" is based on the true story of Charles Becker, a New York cop at the turn of the century and leader of the Strong-Arm Squad, tasked with going to war with the Italian, Jewish and Irish gangs in a violent New York City neighborhood called "The Tenderloin." Becker and his squad were dirty cops, but at the same time tried to impose order in a city controlled by gangs and Tammany Hall. In a stunning turn of events, Becker became the first and only policeman in U.S. history sent to the electric chair for murder. |
