Justin Hires, Jon Foo, Wendie Malick, Aimee Garcia and Page Kennedy Star in the Reimagining of the Hit Feature Film Franchise

“Pilot” – Cultures clash and tempers flare when Detective Lee, a stoic, by-the-book Hong Kong police detective, is paired with maverick LAPD Detective Carter in Los Angeles to investigate the theft of Chinese artifacts, on the series premiere of RUSH HOUR, Thursday, March 31 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

RUSH HOUR, a reimagining of the hit feature film franchise, is an action comedy about a maverick LAPD detective and a by-the-book detective from Hong Kong who knock heads when they are forced to partner together. Detective Lee (Jon Foo) is a reserved, honorable master martial artist with lightning-fast moves who comes to L.A. to avenge his sister’s alleged death and learn more about her connection to a Chinese organized crime ring. Detective Carter (Justin Hires), on the other hand, is a wisecracking cop who plays by his own rules. As exasperated as his boss, Captain Cole (Wendie Malick), gets with him, she knows Carter is a brilliant detective who gets results. Attempting to help the two get along is Sergeant “Didi” Diaz (Aimee Garcia), Carter’s friend and former partner who doesn’t hesitate to call him out on his antics. Secretly aiding them as an informant is Carter’s cousin, Gerald (Page Kennedy), a low-level offender who runs with a tough crowd. Even as cultures clash and tempers flare, Carter and Lee can’t deny they make a formidable team, and grudgingly admit that sometimes an unlikely pairing makes for a great partnership.
