Buddy cop comedy joining psychics, spies and sports therapists on USA

On a network that's already home to psychic detectives, spies and do-good criminals, buddy cop comedy Common Law will fit right in.

Deadline reports that USA Network ordered 11 episodes of the hour-long comedy, but no official premiere date has been set.

Common Law stars Takers' Michael Ealy and The Chicago Code's Warren Kole as bickering LAPD homicide partners who are sent to couples therapy by their boss in the hopes of resolving issues caused by their clashing personalities.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ealy's Travis is a ladies' man with a trouble-making past and Kole's Wes is a passionate gardener with a lawyer past and leftover feelings for his ex-wife.

According to Deadline, the series is the brainchild of CBS Television Studios and Junction Entertainment. National Treasure's Cormac and Marianne Wibberley, Medium's Craig Sweeny are executive producing, along with Jon Turteltaub, who also directed the pilot.

Jeff Wachtel and Chris McCumber, co-presidents of USA, are going into the project with excess positivity.

“When CBS Television Studios sent us the script of Common Law, we immediately fell in love with the writing, the characters and the premise,” they said in a release reported by The Hollywood Reporter.

“We're very lucky to have the Wibberleys, Jon and Craig guiding the process on this show; and with Michael and Warren, we have two stars who bring out the best in each other,” they added.

The Hollywood Reporter says that while the pilot has already been shot, production on the rest of the freshman season is expected to begin in New Orleans within the next month.
