TORONTO , Feb. 11 /CNW/ - Cops take an oath to be honest and faithful in their police duties and private life. They're trusted protectors of the public and the law. But, what happens when the "old boys" establishment behind the badge reveals a different - often conflicting - message? Written by five-time Gemini Award-winner Alan Di Fiore (DA VINCI'S INQUEST, THE HANDLER) and inspired by the insights of former Toronto police union head Craig Bromell, the new CTV Original Series THE BRIDGE debuts Friday, March 5 at 9 p.m. ET on CTV with a special two-hour premiere before moving to its regular Fridays at 10 p.m. ET timeslot beginning March 12 (visit CTV.ca to confirm local broadcast times). Starring Aaron Douglas (BATTLESTAR GALACTICA) as police union head Frank Leo , THE BRIDGE is an authentic and compelling twist on the police procedural told through the lens of a charismatic and dynamic union leader, working to protect his fellow officers.
