EXCLUSIVE: A&E has canceled its flagship series and one of the highest-rated shows on basic cable. A week after Live P.D. was pulled in the wake of George Floyd’s death, the reality series’ hiatus has been made permanent.

The decision was made jointly by A&E and MGM’s Big Fish Entertainment, which produces the show.

“This is a critical time in our nation’s history and we have made the decision to cease production on Live PD,” the network said in a statement to Deadline. “Going forward, we will determine if there is a clear pathway to tell the stories of both the community and the police officers whose role it is to serve them. And with that, we will be meeting with community and civil rights leaders as well as police departments.”

Shocked & beyond disappointed about this. To the loyal #LivePDNation please know I, we, did everything we could to fight for you, and for our continuing effort at transparency in policing. I was convinced the show would go on. . More to come. . .

How much virtue do we have left in the tank to signal? Gotta be close to empty.

I never thought I would cut the cord, but between the NFL and NBA and players going off the woke deep end and now LivePD getting canned, I’m having fewer and fewer reasons to keep paying for cable when my AT&T contract runs out in 2 months

The Simpsons has been on the cancel culture radar for a couple of years.

I don't understand how anyone can genuinely like people. The world is full of fricking retards.

Stupid people and stupid actions seem to not only be the norm now-a-days, but they seem to be applauded and celebrated.

I hope another network picks it up and A&E goes in the tank.

Question is which network has the balls to pick it up?

it would be up to the production company, Big Fish Entertainment, to decide if they even want to produce it again in this current climate
