A new CBC drama, one of the first North American police drama set in Surrey about a Punjabi rookie cop with Sikh roots made its debut this week. A grand premier was organized this week in Surrey.
It stars Supinder Wraich, as a young South Asian female police rookie, who is balancing personal family tragedy with her responsibilities as an officer.
“Exciting to see this show set and filmed all over the city. And the show’s studio is in an unassuming building in Surrey where you would never guess the magic happens. Surrey is truly the economic engine of the region and has tremendous draw,” said Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke while sharing the message on her social media.
The drama is a character-driven police procedural about identity and belonging, policing and politics, and finding truth within the heart of a flawed justice system. The drama stars Supinder Wraich as Sabrina Sohal, a star rookie police officer who must grapple with the limits of the justice system as she fights to exonerate her politician father Ajeet Sohal (played by Stephen Lobo).
Sohal serves her diverse hometown of Surrey alongside Vince Brambilla (played by Enrico Colantoni), a veteran training officer who sees her potential but doesn’t always agree with her forward-thinking methods.
