Karen Sisco is a television series about a fictional United States Marshal created by novelist Elmore Leonard. The series debuted in October of 2003 on ABC.

As a U.S. Deputy Marshal, based on Miami, Florida's Gold Coast, Karen must deal with the underbelly of South Beach nightlife and Palm Beach highlife while tracking down fugitives. She also struggles to win the respect of her fellow officers. Karen occasionally gets advice from her father, a retired Miami police officer turned private investigator. He’s Karen’s confidant, counselor, and confessor. He is also her rock when her confidence wavers.

There are currently no plans to release Karen Sisco on DVD from Universal Studios Home Entertainment.
