Plot Synopsis

From the executive producers of NYPD BLUE, EAST NEW YORK is a one-hour drama series that centers on Deputy Inspector Regina Haywood, the newly promoted boss of the 74th Precinct in East New York -- a working-class neighborhood on the edge of Brooklyn in the midst of social upheaval and the early seeds of gentrification. With family ties to the area, Haywood is determined to deploy creative methods to protect her beloved community with the help of her officers and detectives. But first, she has the daunting task of getting them on board, as some are skeptical of her promotion, and others resist the changes she is desperate to make. Her team includes her mentor, shrewd veteran two-star Chief John Suarez; Marvin Sandeford, a highly respected training officer and expert on the neighborhood; Tommy Killian, a detective with some old-school approaches to policing; Capt. Stan Yenko, Haywood's gregarious and efficient right hand; Crystal Morales, an intuitive detective who can't be intimidated; Andre Bentley, a trainee from an upper middle-class background; and ambitious patrol officer Brandy Quinlan, the sole volunteer to live in a local housing project as part of Haywood's plan to bridge the gap between police and community. Regina Haywood has a vision: she and the squad of the 74th Precinct will not only serve their community -- they'll also become part of it. EAST NEW YORK debuted on Sunday, October 2, 2022 at 9:30pm ET/9pm PT on CBS. After a six-week break, EAST NEW YORK returned with new episodes on Sunday, January 8, 2023 at 9:30pm ET/9pm PT on CBS.
