TNT continues to offer up promos for MOB CITY, the forthcoming TNT series by Frank Darabont (THE WALKING DEAD, THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION).
TNT’s Mob City depicts the epic battle between a determined police chief and a dangerous mobster in 1940s Los Angeles. In addition to Bernthal and Burns, the series’ extraordinary ensemble cast includes Jeffrey DeMunn (The Walking Dead, The Shawshank Redemption), Neal McDonough (Captain America, Desperate Housewives), Gregory Itzin (24), Robert Knepper (Prison Break), Milo Ventimiglia (Heroes), Alexa Davalos (Clash of the Titans, The Mist) and Jeremy Luke (Don Jon). Based on the critically acclaimed book L.A. Noir: The Struggle for the Soul of America’s Most Seductive City, by John Buntin, Mob City centers on Det. Joe Teague (Bernthal), an ex-Marine who holds his cards close to his chest. Teague has been assigned to a new mob task force headed by Det. Hal Morrison (DeMunn). The task force is part of a crusade by Los Angeles Police Chief William Parker (McDonough) to free the city of criminals like Ben “Bugsy” Siegel (Burns) and Mickey Cohen (Luke), the ruthless king of the Los Angeles underworld. Parker also won’t hesitate to go after anyone from his own police force who sells out honor and duty for the sake of a big payout.
The series premieres on Wednesday, Dec. 4, at 10 p.m.
