Following the recent protests that have taken place throughout the country, the long-running show “Cops,” has been canceled at the Paramount Network.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the show was pulled from the schedule in response to the recent protests, but now the show has been canceled from the network altogether. A spokesperson from the network said, “Cops is not on the Paramount Network and we don’t have any current or future plans for it to return.”
The show was picked up by Spike TV back in 2013 after the 25th season ended on Fox. The show continued to air following the network’s rebranding into what is now known as the Paramount Network.
The 33rd season of “Cops,” was scheduled to premiere on Monday, however, no new episodes have been shown since June 1st. Previous episodes of the show are currently airing on WGN America and Pluto TV, however, the networks deal to air the show expires at the end of June and the network, which is owned by Nexstar, doesn’t plan to renew it.
As many of you know, there have been protests taking place across the world since the death of George Floyd. After Minneapolis police were seen on camera killing him, there have been many protests not only calling for justice to be served in his case and many other cases but also a stop to police brutality.
THR also reports that A&E has also pulled last week’s episode of “Live PD” and a source added that new episodes Friday and Saturday are “unlikely,” although A&E is still evaluating things.
