The untitled project—in conjunction with ABC Studios, follows the lives of the Holmes sisters—five African-American women who are all NYPD officers, as they navigate through the everyday challenges of their fast-paced jobs while struggling to balance the overwhelming responsibilities of marriage, motherhood, and all things in between.

Campbell-Martin will portray Sgt. Anise Kendrick-Morrison, a tough cookie with a witty, outspoken sense of humor. Morrison, one of the five sisters and the first to join the force, patrols her childhood neighborhood in Queens.

Based on a true story, the series is written by Pam Veasey and set to be directed by Regina King. They will also serve as executive producers, along with Robin Roberts.
