Jennifer Lopez, who returned to American Idol as a judge this season, has acted only sporadically in recent years, and has never starred in a scripted series, though she’s guest starred on How I Met Your Mother.

After a couple of brief television series stints in the early 1990s, Lopez transition into features with her breakout starring roles in 1997′s Selena and 1998′s Out Of Sight. For the past two decades, she has largely stayed away from scripted series but has been a reality star as a judge on American Idol. As a producer, Lopez has a hit with ABC Family’s drama series The Fosters.

“We’re especially excited that Jennifer is returning to her acting roots from such great movies as Out of Sight, and we know that she will create this complicated character in a vivid way that will breathe new life into the cop show genre. Ryan Seacrest is part of the NBCU family and doing his first scripted drama series with us makes perfect sense.” added a very elated Jennifer Salke.
