NYC 22 (pronounced as NYC 2-2) is an American police procedural drama which premiered on CBS on April 15, 2012.[1] On May 13, 2012, the series was cancelled.[2]

Premise

The series follows a diverse group of rookie New York City Police Department officers as they patrol the streets of Upper Manhattan.

Cast

Development and production

The series first appeared on the development slate at CBS in late 2010, under the name Rookies, after a report that CBS had purchased the series from creators Robert De Niro and Richard Price.[3][4] In January 2011, the network placed a pilot order.[5]

Casting announcements began in mid-February, with LeeLee Sobieski being cast as Jennifer Perry, one of the rookies.[6] Next to board the project were Judy Marte, Tom Reed, and Stark Sands, who all portray rookie cops.[7] Adam Goldberg joined the cast a week later as a former reporter turned rookie cop.[8] Terry Kinney signed on in mid-March as the field training officer for the rookies.[9]

CBS green-lighted production of the series in May 2011 under the new title The 2-2,[10] but the name was changed again when the network announced that the series would premiere on April 15, 2012, as NYC 22.[1]NYC 22 takes over the timeslot of CSI: Miami, which had its season shortened slightly to make room for the new drama.[1]

Critical reception

The show was met with mixed reviews, and holds a Metacritic score of 57 out of 100.[11]

Ratings

According to TV by the Numbers, "The series premiere of NYC 22 drew just a 1.5 adults 18–49 rating at 10pm....That compares with a 2.1 rating average for new episodes of CSI: Miami since January, and a 1.7 for the significantly delayed finale last week." The same site's "Renew-Cancel Index", which analyzes the odds of shows being renewed or canceled by comparing them to the 18–49 ratings for all the scripted shows on the same network, scored the show with a 0.51 index rating (51% of CBS's scripted average) and categorized the show as "certain to be canceled".[12]
