Leighton Meester Stars in ‘Good Cop/Bad Cop’ Trailer with Adam Brody Cameo in New Police Procedural

The highly anticipated trailer for Good Cop/Bad Cop marks the return of Leighton Meester to The CW, showcasing a new police procedural that promises humor and drama. Fans of Meester will undoubtedly remember her iconic portrayal of Blair Waldorf in the cult classic series Gossip Girl. In this latest venture, she stars alongside Adam Brody in a story centered around a sibling detective duo operating within a small police force in the Pacific Northwest. The show is helmed by John Quaintance, who serves as both writer and executive producer.

Scheduled to premiere on February 19 at 9 PM ET, Good Cop/Bad Cop will also be accessible on the Roku streaming platform. The series dives into themes of family dynamics, pitting Lou (played by Meester) against her outspoken younger brother Henry, portrayed by Luke Cook, best known for his role in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. Their father, Big Hank (played by Clancy Brown), serves as the chief of police, adding an intriguing layer of tension as he insists they collaborate on investigations despite their differences.

Insights from the Good Cop/Bad Cop Trailer

Brody Questions Meester’s Character’s Relationship Status

The trailer opens with Lou expressing concern about a crime wave, which her father, Hank, dismisses. Her frustrations are palpable, especially when it becomes clear that her colleagues lack competence. After asking for a partner, Lou’s request backfires when she is paired with Henry, her sardonic brother. Their sibling rivalry is on full display, featuring humor and tension as they navigate their new roles.

Henry’s rough demeanor and social ineptness create a comedic dynamic, exacerbated by their contrasting personalities. As the trailer unfolds, the duo is interrupted by Adam Brody’s character—a cowboy-like figure—who humorously inquires if the siblings are married, prompting a comical reaction from Lou and Henry. This marks another of Brody and Meester’s collaborations, having shared the screen in previous projects like Single Parents and films such as Life Partners.

The ensemble cast is rounded out with talent including Devon Terrell, Grace Chow, Blazey Best, Philippa Northeast, William McKenna, Shamita Siva, and Scott Lee. Produced by Jeff Wachtel’s Future Shack Entertainment alongside Australian firm Jungle Entertainment, Good Cop/Bad Cop aligns with The CW’s renewed commitment to international productions while symbolizing Meester’s significant return to a leading television role.
