The three actors will be joined by Jermaine Crawford and Nathan E. Corbett, who are set to join the series in a guest star role.

Chaney will portray Gordon Hawk, a recent addition to the Harford County Narcotics Task Force, while Clanton will play Brian Hairton, a Baltimore cop who isn’t afraid of speaking his mind when it comes to police misconduct or poor policing.

Crawford will play Jaquan Dixon in his guest role, a young BPD patrolman who is simply trying to do the best job he can. Corbett will portray Tariq Touré, an author from West Baltimore and community activist.
We Own This City chronicles the rise and fall of the Baltimore Police Department’s Gun Trace Task Force — and the corruption and moral collapse that befell an American city in which the policies of drug prohibition and mass arrest were championed at the expense of actual police work.
