Set to premiere this February on Fox is Shawn Ryan’s new series The Chicago Code. From this trailer Fox released, the series looks fast-paced and suspenseful.

Cop dramas aren’t for everyone but with Shawn Ryan at the helm of this one, there’s a good chance The Chicago Code will stand out above the rest. Ryan’s credits include The Shield, The Unit, Lie to Me and most recently the cancelled (way) too soon FX series Terriers. Jennifer Beals is among the stars of this show and if the trailer below isn’t deceiving us, she looks as though she's got this quiet "you wouldn't like me when I'm angry" badass thing going on.

Here’s part of Fox’s description for the series and further down is the trailer:

“Starring Jason Clarke (Brotherhood) and Jennifer Beals (The L Word), the fast-paced series centers on JAREK WYSOCKI (Clarke), a local legend and a larger-than-life veteran of the Chicago Police Department who wields considerable power thanks to his relationship with TERESA COLVIN (Beals), his ex-partner and the city’s first female superintendent, now in charge of a 10,000-member police force. While Teresa diplomatically governs amidst the complicated landscape of Chicago politics, Jarek works the streets on a crusade to clean up crime and avenge his brother’s murder. Along the way, they face powerful adversaries, including ALDERMAN RONIN GIBBONS (Delroy Lindo, Kidnapped), a building-magnate-turned-politician who has ruled his ward with a velvet glove for over two decades.”

The Chicago Code premieres Monday, Feb. 7 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
