Battle Creek centers on two detectives with very different world views who are teamed up. They must answer the question: is cynicism, guile and deception enough to clean up the semi-mean streets of Battle Creek, Michigan in the face of a complete lack of resources; or is the exact opposite true - it takes naïveté, trust and a boatload of resources?
Sony Pictures Television and CBS Television Studios will co-produce the drama. Gilligan, Shore and Mark Johnson (Breaking Bad) will are serve as executive producer. Shore will be the main showrunner with Gilligan showing more of interest in directing the project.
CBS has given the drama a 13-episode blind commitment. It will debut early in the 2014-2015 season.
