The Shield creator Shawn Ryan has recalled the challenges he faced trying to get a movie spinoff made, as well as revealing his biggest fear if a revival series happens. The Shield follows the “Strike Team,” a corrupt unit of the fictional Farmington division of the LAPD, and its charismatic but morally gray leader, Detective Vic Mackey, played by Michael Chiklis. A gritty and unflinching look at LA’s seedy underbelly and rampant police corruption, the crime drama was a critical and commercial success for FX, with The Shield running for seven seasons, and earning six Primetime Emmy Awards.
