Rashida Jones Will Star in Steve Carell's Cop Comedy 'Tribeca'

Rashida Jones isn't going to be away from sitcoms about fictional governments for long. She's signed on to star in Tribeca, Steve Carell's satirical cop drama for TBS, locking in her post-Parks and Recreation move. TheWrap has the scoop:

The project is described as a satirical look at a police procedural, which revolves around Angie Tribeca, a 10-year veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department’s RHCU (also known as the Really Heinous Crimes Unit). Jones will play Tribeca — described as “a lone wolf, capable, committed, strong and not thrilled when told she has to work with a partner” and a “cut-to-the-chase gal who speaks her mind” and “treads where many fear to venture.”

Jones and Rob Lowe's final Parks and Rec episode airs this Thursday. Lowe also has his post-Parks and Rec plans in place, working on a single-camera sitcom called The Pro for NBC.

Carell will direct Tribeca and produce with his wife Nancy Carell.
