CBS has bought 13 episodes of CTV's "Flashpoint," a new police drama being written and created by Canadian actors Mark Ellis and Stephanie Morgenstern.
The series will follow an elite tactical police unit and stars Enrico Colantoni ("Veronica Mars"), Hugh Dillon ("Durham County") and David Paekau ("Whistler").
According to CTV, it will be shown on both American and Canadian TV for the fall 2008 season.
The one-hour series is currently in pre-production, with production set to begin in Toronto in April.
Television networks have been casting their nets far and wide for new on-air content as the writers' strike heads into its fourth month.
