Allegiance, a riveting police drama is back for Season 3 with all new episodes on January 7.
When we last saw lead character Sabrina Sohal (Supinder Wraich) in Season 2, she lays down her badge after refusing to work in a corrupt police department. She’s discovered evidence that Assistant Commissioner Oliver Campbell (Vincent Gale) was involved in the framing of her father, politician Ajeet Sohal (Stephen Lobo) for treason in Season 1 along with other serious crimes like obstruction of justice, theft of classified material and breach of trust.
She goes public with what she knows and breaks down the blue wall of silence that’s been shielding him from prosecution. “It’s never too late to figure out who you are and what you’re for,” her mentor Vince Brambilla (Enricho Colantoni) says in this clip.
Sabrina is strong, principled and determined to make a difference in the community she works in. “One of the things that we wanted to look at was what’s legal is not necessarily always what’s fair and what happens to the human hearts that are involved,” says Wraich in an interview about the show, “And so, for Sabrina, I think that the show is really aptly named in terms of allegiance because this thing happens to her father, and then all of a sudden this organization that she’s taken an oath to serve and to protect is no longer serving and protecting her and her family. In fact, they’re a threat.”
Sabrina returns to the CFPC, where an intense road rage incident involving two women reveals connections to a global drug cartel. Unable to resolve the crisis alone, she embarks on a necessary transformation, shifting from lone wolf to a team player.
While her nemesis Campbell has been dragged out of his office, he still lurks in the shadows. He blackmails Sergeant Gabby (Toby Levens) into becoming his man-on-the-inside, tasked with keeping a close eye on Vince and Sabrina. Campbell wants ammunition to take them down.
Vince navigates a new role as watch commander as a group of unruly officers put his emotions to the test. When he’s forced to put his foot down, he places himself in harm’s way.
With breakneck, gripping cases involving stolen identities, a fledgling serial killer and an assault case that hits close to home, Sabrina harnesses her trademark instinct while learning to trust the people around her.
