Real Housewives of New Jersey alum Amber Marchese has pivoted from appearing on reality TV to a scripted show.
Amber dished to OK! about City of Honor, a bold new character-driven crime drama, which marks her “entry into producing and creative leadership.”
The project:
“The new show takes place on the gritty streets of a fictionalized southern New Jersey city,” teased Amber. “I play a pivotal role in the West End Task Force, a team of detectives fighting a surge in violent crime while managing their own personal demons.”
The story primarily focuses on Jose Luis Torres II’ character, Detective Sergeant Dante Perez, a war-wounded cop haunted by grief and moral ambiguity. In the show, the task force navigates escalating gang threats, a brutal serial killer, and a political landscape ready to dismantle them.
Jose Luis Torres II directed and co-starred alongside Marcus Taylor, Felix Cortes, and Amber. “We have a stellar, diverse ensemble,” the former RHONJ personality boasted.
The significance of this project:
Amber explained, “This isn’t just a role for me — it’s a creative homecoming.”
“City of Honor is raw, thought-provoking, and full of heart. It’s the kind of story I’ve always wanted to help tell.”
The series was filmed in various locations throughout New Jersey. Amber Marchese promises it will capture a “grounded authenticity that matches its emotional intensity.”
There are themes of “loyalty, justice, grief, and redemption that anchor the pilot, setting the tone for what promises to be one of television’s most gripping new dramas.”
City of Honor can be found on the streaming platform Fawesome. Also, it’s coming soon to Amazon Prime, Tubi, and more.
