‘Shades of Blue’ season 2 spoilers: ‘Breaking Bad’ alum Anna Gunn cops major role

It feels like it’s been a minute since we’ve seen Anna Gunn surface on television, and with that in mind, we are very excited about the news that she will be playing a significant role on the second season of NBC’s “Shades of Blue.”

As for who Gunn will be playing, we feel like the official character description (per TVLine) will offer up some further intel:

“A city Councilwoman on the rise and primed for a run at the Mayor’s office, she’s the former protégée of Wozniak (Ray Liotta) who used to be part of Harlee’s (Jennifer Lopez) dirty crew of cops. She’s a chameleon who rose up the ranks of the NYPD to Captain and then launched a political career fueled by her charisma and the fact that she is as comfortable at a blue-collar bar as she is at the Governor’s mansion. As the season progresses, the details of her meteoric rise and her much darker and Machiavellian side comes to the fore.”

Ultimately, this is a really exciting role to us for Gunn, mostly because it feels like she is almost playing more of a Walter White figure this time around. She was responsible for a great performance on “Breaking Bad,” but as with any actor, we’re sure that there is a certain temptation and desire to be able to switch things up, and try things that are new and potentially exciting as a result of that.

The new season of “Shades of Blue” is going to be premiering in the new year. Stay tuned!
