Concrete Park co-creator Erika Alexander will co-star in a dark new crime series, Low Winter Sun from AMC. The Endemol/AMC Studios production stars Mark Strong and Lennie James and begins with the murder of a Detroit cop by a fellow detective. The seemingly perfect crime activates forces that will forever alter the detective’s life, pulling him into the heart of the Detroit underworld.

Erika says: “I am thrilled to be a part of this exciting new series. From Mad Men to Breaking Bad to The Walking Dead, AMC has become the destination for quality drama. The dark, moody pilot for Low Winter Sun was directed by my dear friend, Ernest Dickerson, who has been doing such great work lately on Tremé, Dexter and The Walking Dead. The show has a great, compelling premise and a cast of killers, headed up by Mark Strong and Lennie James. I can’t wait for my fans to see it.”

Low Winter Sun starts this Summer on AMC.
