    His character trains a new partner (Travis Fimmel) in his hard-edged, psychologically clever style while being pursued by a secret Internal Affairs team.

    "Patrick plays a tough, darker character that needs some likability, and he definitely has that," said Tana Nugent Jamieson, senior VP drama programming at the cable network.

    Shooting will start later this year, likely in Chicago or Toronto.

    Swayze next appears in the films "Christmas in Wonderland" and "Powder Blue." Fimmel, who starred in ABC's "Tarzan," next appears in the movies "Ivory" and "Surfer Dude."
