Universal Channel has acquired the UK broadcast rights to King, a Canadian police procedural drama. The show centers around Detective Jessica King, a skilled investigator with a strong reputation and a no-nonsense approach to crime-solving in Toronto.
Detective King is brought in to head the Major Crimes Task Force after her predecessor is dismissed. She quickly establishes herself as a firm yet compassionate leader, balancing her professional duties with the complexities of her personal life.
The series blends traditional procedural storytelling with a sharp focus on character development. Jessica King’s leadership style and emotional intelligence set her apart in a department full of egos and pressure.
King offers audiences a mix of fast-paced investigations, thoughtful narratives, and a compelling central character. It stands out for its strong female lead and its portrayal of both the challenges and the triumphs in modern policing.
The addition of King to Universal Channel’s lineup further strengthens its commitment to high-quality crime dramas with strong character-driven plots.
