The highly anticipated reboot of the crime drama Cold Case has been scrapped by CBS due to complex negotiations with Warner Bros. TV over streaming rights.
The wave of TV reboots has recently hit a snag as the revival of Cold Case at CBS will not be moving forward, according to a new report from Deadline. The crime procedural, which originally aired from 2003 to 2010, was set for a reboot with CBS in negotiations with Warner Bros. TV. Unfortunately, those plans have now been halted.
What Was 'Cold Case' About? Cold Case originally followed Detective Lilly Rush , a determined Philadelphia homicide detective who specialised in cold cases. Alongside her was Detective Scotty Valens , her dedicated partner through much of the series. The show received acclaim for its thoughtful storytelling and ability to weave in period music that enhanced the emotional weight of each case.
The now-scrapped reboot came on the heels of CBS’s successful revival of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation with CSI: Vegas, another Jerry Bruckheimer Television production. CBS seemed eager to replicate that success by revisiting more proven hits from its past. However, negotiations between CBS and Warner Bros. TV proved complex, similar to those encountered during last spring’s renewal talks for WBTV’s East New York.
