The cast of the serial-killer drama "The Bridge" has attended the season two premiere in Beverly Hills.
Mexican actor Demian Bichir stars as Detective Marco Ruiz in the show. Diane Kruger plays Bichir's US counterpart, a cop with Asperger's syndrome.
It is Kruger's first TV show.
The pair are forced to work together after a body is found on the bridge connecting Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, and El Paso, Texas. It also allows the writers to address immigration and political issues on the border.
"The story we tell in 'The Bridge' has to do with many different things that happen on both sides of the borders, not only on one side. Probably one of the reasons why people like the show is because this is not a political statement and we are not pointing fingers at any side. We just tell the story and talk about different issues that affect both sides of the border."
"The Bridge" is based on a Scandinavian series but Bichir says season two is a departure from the original.
The new series will premiere on July 9 in America.
