61st Street is an American legal drama television series created by Peter Moffat that premiered on AMC on April 10, 2022. A second and final season was produced; however, in January 2023, AMC decided against airing it.

Moses Johnson, a promising, black high school athlete, is swept up into the infamously corrupt Chicago criminal justice system. Taken by the police as a supposed gang member, Johnson finds himself and his lawyer Franklin Roberts in the eye of the storm as police and prosecutors seek revenge for the death of an officer during a drug bust gone wrong.

In February 2019, AMC began development on 61st Street which was created by Peter Moffat who is executive producing alongside Michael B. Jordan and Alana Mayo. In October 2019, AMC greenlighted the series and gave it a two-season order, with each season consisting of eight episodes. Series star Courtney B. Vance serves as an executive producer.
