Alibi has announced the UK premiere date for The Protector, which will begin airing in September. The American police procedural drama, centered on a strong female lead, adds depth to the channel’s growing slate of imported crime content.
Starring Ally Walker, the series follows Gloria Sheppard, a homicide detective in Los Angeles who balances her professional life with the demands of single motherhood. Her determination and empathy make her a standout figure in a male-dominated field.
The show’s debut season introduces a range of compelling cases, each highlighting Gloria’s investigative instincts and personal resilience. The mix of case-of-the-week structure and ongoing character development makes it easy for new viewers to jump in.
Alibi is positioning the show as a must-watch for fans of procedural dramas that also explore the human side of law enforcement. The channel aims to appeal to viewers looking for stories with emotional nuance alongside traditional crime elements.
The UK premiere gives audiences a chance to experience a series that emphasizes character, family, and justice in equal measure. Alibi expects The Protector to be a strong addition to its prime-time lineup.
