Backstrom is an upcoming hourlong American crime comedy-drama series based on the Swedish book series by Leif G. W. Persson developed by Bones executive producer Hart Hanson. The series will premiere in spring 2015.
Backstrom centers on Everett Backstrom (Rainn Wilson), an "overweight, offensive, irascible" detective who is engaged in a constant struggle with his "self-destructive" tendencies, and is part of a team of eccentric criminologists.
Backstrom has become Fox's second series order to come from a pilot previously developed for another network during the 2013-14 pilot season. CBS passed on the pilot, leaving FOX the opportunity to look like geniuses. This will be Rainn Wilson's first lead role in a TV series and appears FOX gave him incentive by offering a role in production.
