Beginning Monday, December 26, rebroadcasts of the iconic Johnny Depp series “21 Jump Street” and the American crime drama “Wiseguy” join the Retro TV lineup, with both airing weekday evenings on the digital broadcast network.
Revolving around the cases of an undercover police unit composed of young-looking officers specializing in youth crime, “21 Jump Street” is credited for jumpstarting Depp’s career and features notable appearances from the early careers of Josh Brolin, Jada Pinkett Smith, Brad Pitt, Christina Applegate, Vince Vaughn and more. Episodes will air Monday through Friday at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT.
Starring Ken Wahl as the titular character Vinnie Terranova, an agent with the Organized Crime Bureau who infiltrates dangerous criminal organizations, “Wiseguy” highlights the struggles he goes through to remain true to himself while becoming close to the criminal leaders he is sworn to bring down.
