Reelz ‘On Patrol: Live’ Premiere Date, New Details

Live PD fans are curious to learn about On Patrol: Live. Both Dan Abrams and Sean “Sticks” Larkin are returning to the reboot, which will air on Reelz. It’s the same show with a different name. TV Shows Ace reported about the new series which is no longer on A&E.

The show will take a hit in ratings. Every weekend, it attracted millions of fans. Live PD became the #1 series on cable television. That’s a challenging feat to achieve these days with the increasing popularity of streaming. It has a new name, a new network, and a premiere date.

When and where will On Patrol: Live premiere?

On Patrol: Live will premiere on Friday, July 22 at 9 p.m. ET. It will also return the following night on Saturday, July 23. It’s from the same producers as Live PD. Once again, Friday and Saturday nights will belong to Live PD nation.

They will have to come up with a new fanbase name based on the new show. Dan Abrams will return as host and Sean “Sticks” Larkin will return as one of the panelists. The new docuseries are similar in vein to Live PD. The cameras will follow different police departments on patrol across the U.S.

A&E canceled Live PD at the height of the Black Lives Matter movement and George Floyd’s killing. Since it was one of the highest-rated shows, it became the network’s flagship series, which led to other spinoffs.

Critics argued that the original series promoted “copaganda.” On Patrol: Live should address some of the burning questions left over from that time. The new series will also include input from Deputy Sheriff Curtis Wilson, who works as the Division Commander with the Richland County Sheriff’s Department in Columbia, South Carolina.

All three men will provide live analysis and feedback. They will also offer insights into the uniformed men and women in law enforcement. It will include live footage of what’s happening around the country. The live aspect of the series is what contributed to its popularity.

Live PD reboot premieres on Reelz

Unfortunately, the show will air on Reelz. That means it will lose a good majority of its fanbase. More Americans have access to A&E than they do with Reelz, which is available with certain cable packages. It’ll be interesting to see how the ratings stack up to their predecessor.

In a statement to Deadline, Abrams believes that “Reelz is the perfect home for On Patrol: Live.” This could lead to future spinoffs on the network, which is usually home to celebrity biopics and documentaries. Even Reelz is confident that this new series will attract Live PD Nation to the network. Both Half Moon Pictures and Big Fish Entertainment produce On Patrol: Live.

To those tuning in for a @OfficialOPLive special @danabramslive tonight I’m so sorry but we had an issue and had to do a different show at the last minute. But we will see you one week from today @ReelzChannel for the first episode of @OfficialOPLive!
