L.A. Crime is a character-driven, true-crime procedural anthology that explores sex, politics and popular culture across various noteworthy eras in L.A. history. Season one focuses on two L.A. cops in search for a Bonnie & Clyde-esque serial killing team amid the rock-and-roll, coke-infused revelry of the 1980s Sunset Strip.
Wydra is set to play Diane, a beautiful, resilient detective working undercover as a barmaid on the Sunset Strip.
