Fallon's War: The Series

Fallon's War: The Series is an American television series that aired for seven seasons on CBS from January 13th, 2002 to May 17, 2008. It is a follow-up to the TV films Bound By Honor and In the Name of Justice, which in turn are based off of an alternate version of the TV movie Logan's War: Bound By Honor.

Like it's cousin show, Walker, Texas Ranger, the series held a degree of moralistic style. The characters refrained from the use of drugs, and they participated in community service. Martial arts were displayed prominently as the primary tool of law enforcement and occasionally as a tool for the Fallons and company to reach out to the community.

Premise
Taking place six months after the end of In the Name of Justice, Logan and Jessica Fallon's freelance private protection/security/investigations/bounty hunting agency is doing moderately well. But, deciding they want to expand and do more for their community, they decide to assist the police in investigations. After helping to solve a gang-related murder and seeing how so many young lives the gang life has either taken or endangered, the Fallons and their agency become official police consultant detectives for the Chicago Police Department, and also convert part of their building into a dojo for giving children martial arts lessons in order to keep them out of the gang life. The series follows their efforts to do what they do best: protecting the public and battling injustice in the city of Chicago.

Production
A month after the release of In the Name of Justice, CBS ordered 13 episodes of a TV series based off of the films. Carlton Cuse, Chuck Norris, and his brother Aaron Norris were hired as executive producers, with Chuck reprising his role as Jake Fallon in a recurring capacity.

Eddie Cibrian, Jodi Lynn O’Keefe, Tony Todd, Shannon Lee, and Matt Schulze signed on to their roles from the films as the main cast. Due to his commitment to the film 2 Fast 2 Furious, Paul Walker was unable to commit to the main cast, although he would appear as a recurring member.

For the Chicago P.D., Benjamin Bratt (Law & Order) and Tom Wright (Martial Law) were the first to be cast as the Major Crimes Units first lead detective and superior. Michael Imperioli and Alan Tudyk soon followed as additional detectives.

It was also announced that, Joe Spano, Morgana Shaw, and Devon Michael would reprise their roles from the movies on a recurring basis.

Gena O'Kelley, Chuck Norris real-life wife, was cast in the recurring role of Nora Davidson-Fallon, Jake Fallon's wife who he met and married between the two movies, and mentioned in the second.

Mira Sorvino was cast in a recurring role as Bethany Cross, an A.D.A. who initally is skeptical of the Fallons, but soon comes to respect them greatly.

On April 29, 2002, it was announced that the series had been renewed for a second season, and that Mira Sorvino would be upgraded to regular status.
