Many scriptwriters and directors tried to repeat the success of the show “Sex and the City”. The theme of a single woman and the search for a new love is incredibly popular among viewers, so the show “City of Predators” showed good results. Actors Courtney Cox, Dan Bird, Busy Philipps, Brian Van Holt, Krista Miller and others made up an excellent team.
The series premiered on ABC in 2009. However, after two seasons, management decided to close the project. Fortunately, the “City of Predators” was not left without sponsors - the cable channel TBS continued shooting and broadcasting new episodes. The story of the lonely beauty Jules interested the audience for six seasons. The final episode was released on May 31, 2015.
Plot
Interested in “City of Predators”? Actors and roles, sparkling humor and female friendship - such a “rattling” mix promises you to watch the series.
In the center of events, 40-year-old Jules Cobb is a charming woman who lives with her teenage son. After a divorce, the main character comes to a disappointing conclusion - to build a personal life at her age is no longer so simple. Only juvenile gentlemen come across Jules's path, and meeting them reminds of the old days.
Miss Cobb's best friends, Lori and Ellie, are the exact opposite. Ellie is happy married and raising a young son, and Laurie disappears at noisy parties, having an affair with handsome men. In addition, friends sincerely hate each other and do not miss the chance to show it. At first glance, the trite plot “City of Predators”, the actors were able to “revive” their talent.
The story would not be complete without another character. Opposite Jules is not Grayson's friendliest neighbor. Age, divorce and loneliness - the two heroes really have a lot in common, but young girls who often stay overnight do not let Grayson get bored. From the very beginning, the relationship between Jules and Grayson does not go beyond the neighbors, and later the main character begins to notice other feelings behind her, gradually developing into attraction and even passion.
Courtney Cox
The film “City of Predators” promises a lot of positive emotions to the audience. The actors did their best - the show is not loaded with serious topics and looks very easy.
The role of Jules Cobb was played by the incomparable Courtney Cox, who needs no introduction. But unlike colleague Jennifer Aniston, Courtney is not so often seen on the big screen. After a ten-year television show, Cox took part in the projects “Scream”, “All or Nothing”, “Bedtime Stories” and others, and also appeared as a guest star in the popular show “Clinic”.
Courtney Cox, along with former spouse David Arquette, joined the production team of the series “City of Predators”, whose actors made up a brilliant company star of the legendary “Friends”. In 2010, Courtney Cox was nominated for the Golden Globe Award.
Krista Miller
Some viewers saw the similarities between the television shows “Clinic” and “City of Predators”. Actors and director Bill Lawrence smoothly moved from one series to another. For example, Krista Miller and her character Ellie Torres desperately resemble the tough and sarcastic Jordan Sullivan.
Krista's father was against a career in art, but her daughter decided otherwise. Miller began to work as a model quite early in European and Japanese magazines, and after moving to Los Angeles she began to act actively in television and film.
The actress is married to Bill Lawrence. Together they worked in the comedy series Clinic. The couple has three children, and the last two pregnancies smoothly entered into the script of the show.
Busy Philipps
If married Ellie with a stretch can be called an “angel”, then the windy Laurie acts as a “devil”. She provokes Jules on adventures, parties and meeting young handsome men. Lori is funny and a little stupid, not capable of serious actions and decision-making.
Busy Philipps began her career in 1999 with a role in the Freaks and Geeks show. A year later, she made her debut in the movie "Bad Girls." In 2001, Bizy got the role of Audrey Liddell in the teenage series Dawson's Creek.
One of Busy Philipps' latest works was the City of Predators project, whose actors worked with guest stars. Spectators were happy to see Cheryl Crow, Jennifer Aniston, Zach Braff, Lisa Kudrow, Sam Lloyd and Matthew Parry.
