Development and production
Casting announcements began in mid-February, with Leelee Sobieski being cast as Jennifer Perry, one of the rookies. Next to board the project were Judy Marte, Tom Reed, and Stark Sands, who all portray rookie cops. Adam Goldberg joined the cast a week later as a former reporter turned rookie cop. Terry Kinney signed on in mid-March as the field training officer for the rookies.
CBS green-lighted production of the series in May 2011 under the new title The 2-2, but the name was changed again when the network announced that the series would premiere on April 15, 2012, as NYC 22. NYC 22 took over the timeslot of CSI: Miami, which had its season shortened slightly to make room for the new drama. The series returned on July 7, 2012, to burn off the remaining episodes.
