Two years after it was canceled at Paramount Network and one year after it was picked up by Fox News Media for streaming service Fox Nation, “Cops” returns on September 30.
“Cops” was the longest running reality show in America before it was canceled. The series was first pulled from Paramount Network’s schedule in the summer of 2020 in response to national protests against police after the murder of George Floyd, and was dropped by the network days later. It was one of several police-related television projects that were dropped or rewritten at the time, such as “Live PD,” which was canceled by A+E Networks after four seasons.
The new season of “Cops” will begin with three episodes on September 30, followed by weekly shows on Fridays. In support of the launch, Fox Nation will offer free one-year subscriptions to all first responders, including police officers, firefighters, emergency medical technicians, and paramedics (EMS employees)
“It’s been almost a year since we green-lighted ‘Cops,’ and the reaction has been overwhelmingly positive,” said Jason Clarman, president of Fox Nation. “Our subscribers continue to stream into the series and we’re excited to provide our engaged audience with more exclusive content they’ve counted on from Fox Nation.”
Although Fox Nation was originally considered an extension of the company’s conservative news channel, “Cops” is one of several non-news programs introduced to the broadcaster by Klarman. For example, Fox Nation also offers Christmas Originals, a true crime series hosted by Nancy Grace and “America’s Most Wanted.”
