在这部新探卡特喜剧/犯罪片中,Sony TV宣布拍摄10集新剧《卡特 Carter》，由Jerry O’Connell及Sydney Poitier主演，在月底于安大略省的北湾升机拍摄。这部由John Tinker开发﹑Garry Campbell执笔﹑Scott Smith执导﹑目标在国际频道播出（包括在AXN）的剧集题材类似FOX的已砍喜剧《律师兄弟 The Grinder》，讲述Harley Mackay（Jerry O’Connell饰）曾经是部热门侦探电视剧的主演，但他因为在好莱坞公众面前崩溃，只得灰头土脸地回到自己那死气沈沈的家乡。
主角决定运用剧集里的经验，成为一个真正的侦探，并与他那认识良久﹑不爱废话﹑任职警察多年的朋友Sam St. Clair（Sydney Poitier饰）合作查案。
When Harley Carter was a teenager, he experienced 15 minutes of fame when he solved the mystery of a serial killer plaguing his small town. Now, years later, Harley has become a famous Hollywood actor playing a grown-up version of what he actually was as a kid. And it's wearing on him. After an embarrassing public meltdown in Hollywood, Harley returns to his hometown to take a break but finds that he can't leave solving mysteries behind. Carter taps into his acting experience to become a real-life detective, partnering with (and reconnecting to) his childhood friends, no-nonsense police veteran Sam Shaw and witty, street-wise coffee truck owner, Dave Leigh.
