AMC’s new show, ’61st Street,’ has stormed onto screens and already has viewers gripped.

Emmy Award winner Courtney B. Vance toplines the two-season event – which is executive produced by Michael B. Jordan by way of his Outlier Society production company, David Shanks, and BAFTA-winner Peter Moffat (who also created the series).

’61st Street’ uncovers the underbelly of the infamous Chicago criminal justice system; it follows the police and prosecutor investigation of a deadly drug bust that threatens to unravel the cop code of silence.

Vance leads the all-star cast, which includes Oscar-nominee Aunjanue Ellis, Brit Tosin Cole, Mark O’Brien, and Holt McCallany.

Ahead of its premiere, That Grape Juice‘s Lettija Lee sat down with Vance, who opened up in earnest about the show in earnest as well as his exciting plans for the future.
