If you’ve caught some of the teasers for FX’s new series Terriers, you might be intrigued but still in the dark about what the show’s about. If that’s the case, read on for some information and videos on this new series, which premieres next week.

Terriers is created by Ted Griffin (Ocean’s Eleven) and The Shield’s Shawn Ryan. From the behind the scenes clips below, it looks like it’s part action-suspense and part comedy, which is a blend that the USA network has benefited from in numerous series. As Terriers is on FX, I expect it to be a little bit grittier than Covert Affairs or even Burn Notice, but possibly similar enough in the general mood and pace to share an audience.

Below is FX’s description for Terriers and further down are the behind the scenes featurettes.

Terriers, from Creator/Executive Producer Ted Griffin and Executive Producer Shawn Ryan, is a drama series starring Donal Logue and Michael Raymond-James. It centers on ex-cop ‘Hank Dolworth’ (Logue), and his partner and best friend ‘Britt Pollack’ (Raymond-James) — two small-time, unlicensed private investigators who become embroiled in a big scandal.Comedic, edgy, original, a show about high stakes in the face of low expectations, Terriers explores what it’s like in today’s America to be “too small to fail.” Co-stars include Kimberly Quinn as ‘Gretchen Dolworth,’ Hank’s ex-wife; Laura Allen as ‘Katie Nichols,’ Britt’s girlfriend; Rockmond Dunbar as ‘Detective Mark Gustafson,’ former colleague of Hank; and Jamie Denbo as ‘Maggie Lefferts,’ Hank’s attorney.The pilot was written by Griffin and directed by Craig Brewer. Terriers is produced by Fox 21. FX has ordered 13 episodes for the show’s first season.

Terriers Season 1 Premieres Wednesday, September 8, 10 PM E/P on FX
