JLo will play Harlee Santos, a Brooklyn detective trapped by the FBI who’s juggling her roles as a single parent with financial problems and her forced compliance with the FBI’s anti-corruption task force.

The series co-stars Ray Liotta as Harlee’s boss, Lt. Bill Wozniak, and former “Sopranos” star Drea de Matteo as Harlee’s colleague, Det. Tess Nazario.

“Shades of Blue” is slated to premiere Jan. 14.
