‘Live PD’ revived at Reelz, two years after A&E cancellation

Two years to the month that it was canceled by A&E, the reality show Live PD is set to return to production.

The show is reportedly making its comeback with a new name, a modified format and a new television home on the cable network Reelz.

According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, Live PD will return on Friday and Saturday nights this summer, now with the tentative new title On Patrol: Live.

“The show will once again follow police officers on patrol in real time in different U.S. cities, with Dan Abrams back on board as host,” TV Line’s Rebecca Iannucci writes.

According to WSJ, the upcoming episodes will also feature “new innovations,” such as civilian ride-alongs and the addition of law enforcement vet Curtis Wilson.

“I have been advocating for the show to return or two years now, and it was just a question of finding the right partner,” host and executive producer Dan Abrams tells The Hollywood Reporter.

Abrams adds, “I have had a number of inquiries from a number of networks about the show, and what I would typically do is have a conversation and then pass it on to the Big Fish folks, and then we would talk about whether it made sense.

“There had been a couple of other interesting discussions, but this one ended up making the most sense for everyone.”
