Though WGN America announced that it would no longer be pursuing original content (despite finding critical success and solid fanbases for shows like Outsiders and Underground), the channel is not done with scripted series altogether. It has recently acquired Bellevue, a crime drama starring Anna Paquin that is set to run for eight hourlong episodes.

A new first look and posters for Bellevue released today show what looks like a fairly boilerplate “small town, big crime” story where the lead detective is a troubled rogue who has trouble managing her personal life, but who is nevertheless an excellent investigator. Oh and of course, she also has a dark presence fro her past who resurfaces and begins threatening her again.

Just because the story is familiar, though, doesn't meant that Bellevue won't be an engaging new telling of it. Paquin is always good, and the series also stars Allen Leech (Downton Abbey) as her character's ex-partner and high school sweetheart. The crime also revolves around a transgender teen, which makes the material current, but it will be interesting to see how the show deals with that material. Of note, Paquin is also serving as an EP on the series alongside co-creators and showrunners Jane Maggs (The Offering) and Adrienne Mitchell (Bomb Girls). Check out the first look below:

Here's the official synopsis; the series will premiere Tuesday, January 23rd at 10 p.m. on WGN America:
