After a six-year run on Paramount Network, “Cops” won’t be returning. It was pulled earlier this month in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death.
For the record, the original version of “Cops” premiered on Fox in 1989 and aired for 25 seasons. The show was resurrected in 2013 when Spike TV ordered new episodes. Spike TV – which was rebranded as Paramount Network in 2018 –carried the show over to the new network.
Another show that might get the ax is “Live PD.” It was pulled last weekend, and the network is still evaluating the right time to bring it back. With the protests still going on, it’s unlikely it’ll be back this weekend.
