Entertainment writers often look to focus their work on moments of great anguish and tragedy, but new drama K-Ville is more interested in what happens next. The US police drama series is set in New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and looks at the devastation that the natural disaster caused for people of the city.

The series will debut on Five in early 2008 and follows the cops determined to fight crime, despite there being no jails, crime labs or police stations. It comes from Jonathan Lisco (NYPD Blue, The District) and Anthony Anderson (Transformers, The Shield) and Cole Hauser (Pitch Black, Good Will Hunting) are set to star.
