LOS ANGELES, June 16 (UPI) -- Breaking Bad alum Anna Gunn joins Jennifer Lopez on the NBC drama Shades of Blue.

On Breaking Bad, Gunn played the law-abiding wife of teacher-turned-meth-maker Walter White, played by Bryan Cranston. Now, on Shades of Blue, Gunn is on the other side of the law as a corrupt cop, who quickly rose through the ranks, and decides to seek power in politics.

Gunn is set to star in eight of 13 episodes in Season 2, which started production this week in New York.
