The Peacock will lens the series next year, with an eye towards the 2015-16 TV season.

Feature scribe Adi Hasak will pen “Shades of Blue” and exec produce alongside Lopez, Ryan Seacrest, Nina Wass, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas and Benny Medina. Universal TV, Lopez’s Nuyorican Prods., Ryan Seacrest Prods., EGTV and H’s Films will produce the drama. The project came together quietly and quickly and was sealed with a deal involving the key players and NBC brass on Friday.

“Whether its producing, acting, singing or any of her other many entrepreneurial activities, Jennifer is an extraordinary talent and life force, and we’re delighted to be in business with her and Adi Hasak on this sophisticated show,” said NBC Entertainment president Jennifer Salke.

“We’re especially excited that Jennifer is returning to her acting roots from such great movies as ‘Out of Sight’ and we know that she will create this complicated character in a vivid way that will breathe new life into the cop show genre. Ryan Seacrest is part of the NBCU family and doing his first scripted drama series with us makes perfect sense.”
