“Cops” has officially been canceled at Paramount Network.
Definitive news that the series won’t return comes only four days after Variety exclusively reported that it had been pulled from the schedule.
“‘Cops’ is not on the Paramount Network and we don’t have any current or future plans for it to return,” a Paramount Network spokesperson said in a statement.
“Cops” launched on Fox in 1989, and is considered one of the originators of the modern reality TV movement. But in recent years, it has also come under fire for how it depicts law enforcement, and for questionable behind the scenes practices.
