What '61st Street' Is About
After a black high school track star is wrongly accused of killing a police officer, he gets pulled into Chicago's biased justice system in 61st Street. Then, a public defender who is preparing to retire agrees to represent the young man and take on the corrupt system that has put him in legal peril. The show's first season focused on that legal battle and introduced viewers to the aging lawyer who is the show's main character.
The crime drama series, which was created by Peter Moffat, stars one of the most universally respected actors of his generation, Courtney B. Vance. He has won and been nominated for a long list of awards and is known for his roles in the series The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story and Law & Order: Criminal Intent. The show's other stars include Tosin Cole, Bentley Green, Holt McCallany, Aunjanue Ellis, Andrene Ward-Hammond, and Mark O'Brien.
