'Live PD,' the popular police reality series on A&E that was canceled in 2020 amid protests inspired by the death of George Floyd, is being revived this summer with the same host — but with a few changes.
"First, I want to say thank you to the ‘Live PD’ nation. I know this wait was long, but we needed the right platform to make this show what it should be," said Abrams during his "Dan Abrams Live" show on NewsNation.
"As many of you know, I have been advocating for this show to return since the day it went off of the air," he added. "Live PD" was canceled by A&E in June 2020 following weeks of protests over Floyd’s death at the hands of police Officer Derek Chauvin in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and a larger national reckoning over race and policing. The show’s end also came on the heels of a report that a crew from the show filmed the death of another Black man in police custody.
"This is a critical time in our nation’s history and we have made the decision to cease production on Live PD," A&E said in a statement at the time. "Going forward, we will determine if there is a clear pathway to tell the stories of both the community and the police officers whose role it is to serve them. And with that, we will be meeting with community and civil rights leaders as well as police departments.
