The film was released theatrically on Maby Columbia Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Cannell and Patrick Hasburgh, the film follows police officers Schmidt and Jenko, who are forced to relive high school when they are assigned to go undercover as high school students to prevent the outbreak of a new synthetic drug and arrest its supplier. An adaptation of the 1987–1991 television series of the same name by Stephen J. Until it became an actors' showcase, though, 21 Jump Street was probably the best drama on TV.21 Jump Street is a 2012 American buddy cop action comedy film directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (in their live action directional debuts), written by Jonah Hill and Michael Bacall, and starring Hill and Channing Tatum.

He became a teen-age heartthrob for a while, but never achieved the momentum to carry his career skyward. Richard Greico was most heavily promoted, to an audience that didn't really care. The show kind of faltered in its last few seasons Johnny Depp was becoming a star, and execs started pushing other 'stars' into the spotlight, hoping for cash rewards and spin-offs.

Almost every episode touched upon subjects that were taboo for the big 3 networks (and still are)- AIDS, statutory rape, drug use, abortion, child abuse- and presented it in a moralistic way, but without being maudlin. unlike the Mod Squad, though, the storylines were always passable, and quite often excellent. They would infiltrate schools, drug rings, gangs, wherever teenagers were in trouble.

Like WB now, Fox wanted to lure in a teenage audience with its good-looking young stars. This was one of the first Fox hour-long dramas, and Fox definitely wore its heart on its sleeve.
