Cuffs is written by Julie Gearey (Secret Diary of a Call Girl) and also boasts an ensemble cast featuring Peter Sullivan (The Borgias), Shaun Dooley (Exile), Utopia's Paul Ready and Eleanor Matsuura, plus Alex Carter (Hollyoaks).
Tiger Aspect's Head of Drama Will Gould said: "With her incredible wit, authenticity and balls-out storytelling - Julie Gearey is taking the cop show genre back to basics to create a fresh and bold series, bang up to date for 2015.
"And we can't wait for her vision to be brought to life by director Anthony Philipson and our extraordinarily talented and diverse cast."
Cuffs begins filming in Brighton tomorrow (March 20).
