The Bridge is a Canadian police drama commissioned by CTV and CBS starring Aaron Douglas. The name of the series is derived from the bridge which separates the wealthy Rosedale neighborhood of Toronto with its poorest, the St. James Town projects.
The series, based on the insights of veteran insider and outspoken former Toronto police union head Craig Bromell, chronicles a charismatic union leader who is working parallel campaigns in a big city police force – battling criminals on the street and fighting his own bosses, and sometimes corruption in the ranks, to protect his fellow officers.
The Bridge is loosely based upon former Toronto police union head Craig Bromell, in the form of Aaron Douglas’s character, Frank Leo. After being unanimously elected head of the union, Leo sets out to clean up the corruption in the force while working in the best interests of the rank-and-file.
CBS and CTV team up yet again to offer American and Canadian audiences the police drama, The Bridge . Like Flashpoint , this dramatic series will straddle both networks. The show follows Frank Leo, a newly elected police union head with an angry attitude and no patience for the corruption that permeates the force.
The initial order is for 11 episodes. After CTV ordered the pilot to series in November 2008, CTV later shared the pilot with CBS. This series premiered on CTV on March 5, 2010 and it will premiere on July 10, 2010 on CBS.
