About the show

19-2 is a Canadian police procedural crime drama television series created by Réal Bossé and Claude Legault, who also star in it. Set in Montreal, it follows the patrol officers of the fictional Station 19 of the Service de police métropolitain, a stand-in for the real Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM), and explores how the job affects their professional and personal lives. The title comes from the call sign of the patrol car of the two main characters.

The series premiered on Radio-Canada on 2 February 2011 and ran for three seasons and 30 episodes, concluding on 1 April 2015. All episodes were directed by Daniel Grou (credited as Podz). An English-language adaptation premiered on Bravo on January 29, 2014, and concluded production in 2017. The fourth and final season of the English version premiered on CTV in Canada on July 31, 2017.

The show was a critical and ratings success in Quebec: its first season drew about 1.3 million viewers a week, making it the most-watched series in the province that winter. It received 18 nominations at the 2011 Gémeaux Awards and won in categories including best dramatic series, and Legault was nominated for an International Emmy Award in 2014. An English-language adaptation premiered on Bravo on 29 January 2014 and ran for four seasons, ending on CTV in 2017.
