The cast includes Amy Jo Johnson from Felicity fame, and Enrico Colantoni, from Veronica Mars and Just Shoot Me.

There is a 4-minute preview on CBS.com that you can check out, and the synopsis of the show is below.

“Flashpoint” is an emotional journey into the tough, risk-filled lives of a group of cops in the SRU (inspired by Toronto’s Emergency Task Force). It’s a unique unit that rescues hostages, busts gangs, defuses bombs, climbs the sides of buildings and talks down suicidal teens. Members of a highly-skilled tactical team, they’re also trained in negotiating, profiling and getting inside the suspect’s head to diffuse the situation to try and save lives.

Amy Jo Johnson and Enrico Colantoni.

You may not exactly know those names too well, so I’ll ‘splain. Johnson played Julie on the original J.J. Abrams series Felicity back in the day, although she only lasted a few seasons. I always loved her character on the show and was bummed when she left for awhile.

Colantoni was on Veronica Mars most recently, but might be known mostly for his role on Just Shoot Me.

I love both of these actors and they’re starring in Flashpoint, a CBS series from Canada about a big city elite police force:

It sounds pretty exciting and could be a fun series over the summer. And the fact that Johnson and Colantoni will be in it makes it that much sweeter.

It’s filmed on location in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and is a production of Canadian CTV.
