TNT has teamed with automaker Lincoln and Mandalay Television for a crime-thriller microseries "RPM," starring Jonathan Schaech.
"RPM" will air as 20 two-minute episodes within the
commercial breaks of four prime-time episodes of "Law & Order" from Oct. 21-29. The series is about a husband and father of two trying unsuccessfully to move past his former career as a homicide
detective. He drives a Lincoln while tracking down a key suspect.
Mandalay executive producer Elizabeth Stephen brought the project to TNT and Lincoln. It marks the first time a TNT
microseries has been developed so closely with a brand. She says Mandalay approached it as if it were an hourlong drama series and is hoping it could eventually become one.
