Detroit's latest financial woes won't go unnoticed in AMC's new Detroit cop show "Low Winter Sun."
Chris Mundy, the show's executive producer, told Deadline Detroit Sunday that the 9th and 10th episodes will reference the financial problems.
He said in the 9th episode the city's bankruptcy will be mentioned on a talk radio show.
In the 10th episode, the uncertainty about police pensions will surface in dialogue. The first season, which premieres Aug. 11, will have 10 episodes. Mundy said he expects to complete filming for the first season by Saturday.
Asked if the nation's intense focus on Detroit because of the bankruptcy filing might generate more interest in the show, Mundy said: "I would not like to think about it that way to be honest. We've all spent a lot of time here and for a lot of people it's kind of a second home. I don't want to use the misfortune as a marketing tool."
Mundy said he was "incredibly happy" the way the first season has turned out.
"I think everybody is really proud of it. For better or for worse, it came out the way we meant it to come out."
The first episode will be shown Monday at 8 p.m. night at the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor. Admission is free.
