LOS ANGELES, May 14 (UPI) -- TNT says it has green lit a new U.S. buddy lawyer series called "Franklin & Bash," starring Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Breckin Meyer.
The cable television network announced Friday it has ordered 10 episodes of the series, which is produced by Four Sycamore Productions, Left Coast Productions and FanFare Productions in association Sony Pictures Television.
"'Franklin & Bash' is a hugely entertaining, smart and funny take on the legal procedural," Michael Wright, executive vice president and head of programming for TNT, TBS and Turner Classic Movies, said in a statement. "After viewing the outstanding pilot, we realized that its emphasis on quirky, likeable characters and solid procedural structure make it an ideal addition to our current line-up of series on TNT. As an odd-couple pair of lawyers, Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Breckin Meyer play off each other extremely well. With the outstanding cast around them, plus Kevin Falls and Bill Chais's great words, we're very excited about bringing this series to TNT."
The show is described as being about "two young, fly-by-the-seat-of-their-pants street lawyers" who "cause a seismic culture clash when they join a legendary, button-down law firm."
The series co-stars Malcolm McDowell, Dana Davis, Kumail Nanjiani and Reed Diamond.
