Colin Hanks is set to star in Fox's thirteen-episode series "Jack and Dan" created by Matt Nix.

This also stars Bradley Whitford and is produced by Fox TV Studios.

Story focuses on Jack (Hanks), an ambitious, by-the-book detective who undermines himself with the result of winding up in a dead-end job at the Los Angeles Police Department. On top of that, he's been partnered with Dan (played by Whitford) who is a wild-card cop as well as a drunk. The only thing keeping Dan in the job is a heroic act years ago. 

Filming on the action comedy is slated to begin early next year.

Hanks recently did an arc on AMC's "Mad Men" and was also in the recent successful comedy "The House Bunny" as well as the Diane Lane thriller "Untraceable" and "The Great Buck Howard" with John Malkovich.
