#COLD CASE FILES 2021 SERIES#
Some episodes of the series have now been adapted into a podcast of the same name, "Cold Case Files," hosted by Brooke Gittings and featuring the voice of the original Cold Case files host, Bill Kurtis. The Blumhouse Television, AMPLE Entertainment reboot has quickly gained popularity on Netflix. Reruns of the original 1997 series currently air on broadcast syndication in the United States, usually in lower-profile time slots, and on many RTV stations. Ĭold Case Files first aired as a sub-series of another A&E crime documentary program, Investigative Reports, also hosted by Bill Kurtis, which ran from 1991–2011. Īccording to A&E, the show has been widely praised by law enforcement agencies, and its investigative reports are commonly used in the training of detectives. On August 20, 2021, after a four-year hiatus, the series returned with a new season on A&E, again with Kurtis as the host. However, in addition to Danny Glover, Bill Kurtis later returned to reprise his role as host of the series. Actor Danny Glover took over for Kurtis as narrator for this new 10-episode series. The new episodes first began airing on February 27, 2017. The well received reboot features highly cinematic recreations and music.
On January 19, 2017, Blumhouse Television, AMPLE Entertainment and A&E revived the series for a ten-episode run. The show documents the investigation of many long-unsolved murders (referred to as " cold cases" in detectives' parlance) through the use of modern forensic science (especially recent advances in DNA techniques), and criminal psychology, in addition to recent breakthroughs in the case(s) involving previously silent witnesses.
