The anticipated reboot of Cold Case is no longer moving forward at CBS, according to reports from Deadline. The project was initially in development as of April but has now been shelved. Representatives from CBS and Warner Bros. Television have not yet commented on the decision.
The original Cold Case aired from 2003 to 2010, spanning seven seasons and focusing on a division of the Philadelphia Police Department dedicated to solving unsolved criminal cases. The series starred Kathryn Morris as homicide detective Lilly Rush, alongside a talented ensemble that included Danny Pino, John Finn, Jeremy Ratchford, Thom Barry, and Tracie Thoms. Fans of the original may be disappointed by the cancellation of the reboot, which promised to revisit the show’s compelling crime-solving narratives.
Details about CBS’s potential Cold Case reboot were limited, but it was set to take place in the Southwest rather than Philadelphia, focusing on a new team of detectives dedicated to solving cold cases. Original creator Meredith Stiehm was reportedly on board to write the script and serve as an executive producer. Despite the excitement surrounding a fresh take on the concept, the project will not move forward, leaving fans of the original series without a new iteration to look forward to.
