Reps for CBS and Warner Bros. Television did not immediately respond to TVLine’s request for comment.
The original Cold Case ran for seven seasons on CBS, following a division of the Philadelphia Police Department that specialized in investigating unsolved criminal cases. Kathryn Morris starred as homicide detective Lilly Rush, with Danny Pino, John Finn, Jeremy Ratchford, Thom Barry and Tracie Thoms rounding out the main ensemble.
Details of CBS’ potential reboot were scarce, but the follow-up would have been set in the Southwest instead of Philadelphia, centering on a new group of detectives dedicated to solving cold cases. Original Cold Case creator Meredith Stiehm was reportedly attached to write the script and serve as an executive producer.
