The long-running police reality show that Paramount Network canceled in June 2020 after 32 seasons amid the George Floyd protests and the TV industry's reckoning over cop shows has found a new home. Fox News streaming service Fox Nation has picked up Cops for Season 33. Fox Nation will also air 15 episodes from Season 32. Cops will launch on Fox Nation on Oct. 1 with four episodes. As part of the launch, Fox Nation will offer a free one-year subscription to police and other first responders. Cops originally aired on Fox Nation sibling the Fox network from 1989 to 2013. As The Hollywood Reporter notes, "the Cops pickup is part of a larger slate of first responder-themed programming at Fox Nation. 911: On Scene applies the Cops formula to firefighters and paramedics; When Seconds Count will feature dramatic rescues caught on tape; Protect and Serve will highlight good deeds from police officers; and Answer The Call will profile the children of first responders that were killed in the 9/11 attacks. "Cops is one of the most iconic brands on television with an incredibly passionate fan base,” said Fox Nation president Jason Klarman in a statement. "We wanted to show our appreciation to all first responders by combining the launch with a free one-year subscription to give back in a small way to those who place their lives on the line every day to keep us safe.”
