Live PD reunion took place on Thursday night

Dan Abrams Live held a special live reunion on Thursday, December 2 at 8 p.m. ET. The reunion took place on the new network channel, NewsNation. Fans of the hit cable show got to see Dan reunited with his former panelists, Sean “Sticks” Larkin and Tom Morris Jr.

Officers Addy Perez, Andrea Zendejas, Danny Brown, Garo Brown, and Jill Marshall also reunited again. Dan Abrams hosted the hour-long special, which ended up trending in the U.S. on Twitter. During the special, the officers talked about their lives after the show and answered fan questions.

In September, Abrams announced his new primetime program. He made the move from A&E to NewsNation. Dan Abrams Live gives viewers a nuanced perspective about the major news stories of the day. Abrams and Larkin discuss them in an unbiased debate that doesn’t include finger-wagging or screaming matches.

But on Thursday night, Abrams wanted to focus on Live PD Nation. He wanted to give the fans a treat a little treat. The legal analyst gets an overwhelming amount of questions as to whether the show will ever come back. So, Abrams decided to give the fans a mini-reunion.

Dan Abrams feels “very good” about second chances

Most fans wanted to know if Live PD will ever come back. Dan Abrams addressed the fans’ concerns. He said that he feels the show will return at some point. Keep in mind that nothing has been confirmed yet.

“There are a lot of conversations going out about bringing the show back, and I still feel very good about its chances in the near term,” Abrams said at the end of the reunion special.

However, this isn’t the first time he’s felt confident about the show returning. Shortly after A&E pulled the plug, Abrams said he was in talks with producers to bring a revised version of the show back. But the network denied making any decisions.

Abrams feels that the show could provide insight into the decisions police officers make on a daily basis. He felt that the show was needed in a time of great racial divide and political division. Abrams said that the footage could help the public understand what police do and why they do it.

Live PD could return to another network

The ABC News analyst said that several networks have reached out to discuss bringing the show back in some format. Abrams has a good feeling about the show’s future. He also claimed that he doesn’t have that power. It’s in the hands of the fans as well as the production company.

“I don’t own ‘Live PD,'” Abrams explained. “I didn’t produce it. I was a producer, but not the production company. But, I’m feeling good about where we are, and every one of the conversations includes you. All your passion as part of the ‘Live PD’ nation is always part of the conversation.”
