‘LIVE PD’ Coming Back! But NOT On A&E Dan Abrams Returns As Host

LOS ANGELES, CA. (THECOUNT) — “Live PD,” which had a successful run on A&E for four years before getting canceled, will return on the cable channel Reelz.

According to outsider, the televised docuseries chronicling on-duty police officers, has struck a multi-year contract with Reelz.

New episodes as early as this summer, on Friday and Saturday nights. It’ll run from 9 p.m. EST to midnight. And per The Wall Street Journal, “Live PD” will be tentatively renamed “On Patrol: Live.”

Dan Abrams returns as host, while Deputy Sheriff Curtis Wilson receives a promotion to a full-time commentator. Retired Tulsa Police Sgt. Sean “Sticks” Larkin will join the duo as well.

Earlier today, Dan Abrams spoke with Variety about “Live PD” coming back to TV as “On Patrol: Live.”

“Law enforcement is front and center in the national discussion, and our hope is that showing the work of police officers in a live format will provide viewers with direct access to the work they do,” Abrams said. “I’m thrilled our team is finally back together and excited that Reelz has committed to making this show front and center on their network.”

Apparently, Reelz was not the only network interested in bringing back the law-enforcement-based show. But per Variety, it was the only one to offer “a significant episode guarantee.”
