"Welcome to Miami, @MichaelChiklis!@mgmplus #TheShieldReunion #NoStovetops," Pino tweeted Monday.
The post included a link to a media report about the project and a photo of Chiklis' cop character Vic Mackey threatening Pino's guest star character, Armadillo Quintero.
"Let's dance Danny!" Chiklis replied.
Deadline.com reported Chris Brancato created the new series, which will star Pino as Cuban expatriate Roman Compte, manager of a popular Miami hotel and nightclub where drugs flow freely in the 1970s and '80s.
