In the spring of 2024, while Andre Shariff Smith was leading the Ramadan community prayer, asking for forgiveness with his forehead planted in the prison mosque’s carpeted floor, Netflix was releasing the first episode of its new series Homicide: New York, “Carnegie Deli Massacre.” It was about the crime he had participated in 23 years ago. But that afternoon, Smith didn’t know the worst decision of his life, a robbery that left three people dead and two others wounded, was now being rehashed for millions. It would be the third-most-watched show on Netflix that week.

Unpacking ‘Henry Johnson’: Mamet Returns With a high-profile Broadway revival of Glengarry Glen Ross currently underway, we’re once again reminded of David Mamet’s singular ear for dialogue- the same talent that earned him a Pulitzer Prize for this very play. While his sharp, staccato writing has long been celebrated on stage and screen, Mamet’s work behind the camera has drawn more divided opinions. His latest film, 'Henry Johnson', is an intimate ensemble piece starring Shia Labeouf, Evan Jonigkeit, Chris Bauer, and Dominic Hoffman. After premiering at the Aero Theatre in Los Angeles last May, the film is now available to rent through its official website. As the old T-shirt gag goes, “But what I really want to do is direct.” Mamet’s career has followed that familiar arc: from acclaimed playwright to Hollywood screenwriter- penning Oscar-recognized scripts like 'The Verdict'- to director,...

The best Law & Order crossovers include episodes from various series such as Special Victims Unit, Chicago Fire, Chicago Pd, Homicide: Life on the Street, and Organized Crime. Some notable crossovers are: "Charm City" and "For God And Country" Deal with Domestic Terrorism and White Supremacist Groups: These episodes involve an explosion in a New York subway connected to a five-year-old bombing in Baltimore, and the investigation continues in Homicide's "For God and Country." "Bad Things," "Shadowerk," "All Pain is One Malady," and "With Many Names" Reveals a Revenge-for-Hire Scheme: This crossover is a two-part finale for both Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Law & Order: Organized Crime, and it is tense as the teams close in on a dangerous suspect.

The Continental's 70s soundtrack sets the tone of the series, enhancing the disco-infused NYC setting. Winston's origin story is accompanied by iconic songs from the era, adding depth to the narrative. Music in The Continental differs from John Wick films, reflecting Winston's character and the show's distinct style.

The Continental has a soundtrack filled with songs from the 70s and the eras before to sell its past setting; here is every song in the John Wick prequel and where it plays in each episode. The Continental is set in the 1970s and tells the origin story of Winston Scott alongside his brother Frankie. In the John Wick films, Winston was played by Ian McShane as the manager of the New York Continental, with Colin Woodell bringing a younger Winston to life.

Given that The Continental is set in the 1970s, it has a distinct visual style in comparison to the...

The series is likely to become available to stream at some point before the end of 2024.

The mean streets of Baltimore could be coming to a TV near you before the year is out! “Homicide: Life on the Street” is one of the most popular shows to never have made it to an on-demand streaming service, but that appears to be changing. A new update from David Simon, who wrote the book the series is based on and wrote and produced for the series during its run, is giving hope to the show’s fanbase that its streaming debut is close at hand, and could happen at some point in the next few months.

Key Details: Simon says that NBC has cleared the necessary music rights to sell “Homicide” to a streaming service. Work on these efforts first began in late 2023. Peacock is the most likely streamer to get the show,...

The streets are about to stream, as David Simon has announced that plans have moved forward to bring Homicide: Life on the Street to your TV sometime in the future. The groundbreaking series – a precursor to Simon’s The Wire – has been tied up in music rights limbo for years but now that red tape has been cleared, we’ll soon enough be crossing the police tape.

As David Simon posted on X, “Word is that NBC has managed to finally secure the music rights necessary to sell Homicide: Life On The Streets” to a streaming platform.

The show, which ran for seven seasons from 1993 to 1999, was based on the book by David Simon. On social media, Simon revealed that NBC had finally managed to clear the rights to the music used for Homicide: Life on the Street, the apparent hurdle that has been holding up the show from getting a proper streaming release. While a specific platform has not yet been named, it seems that NBCUniversal's Peacock would be the most likely home.

It might seem like a no-brainer that Law & Order impresario Dick Wolf should extend his murder–centric franchise into the documentary space — or that Netflix, with its many true crime features and miniseries, attempt the same thing in episodic format — but neither really came to fruition until the March premiere of Homicide: New York. Naturally, the long wait carried a fair amount of pressure with it.

“Everyone understood the potential pitfalls of stepping into the true crime space and the tropes that come with it,” says Dan Cutforth, Homicide executive producer and one half of Alfred Street Industries. “We’ve all seen that done… not well. So, it was really important that it be executed on a very high level with this series.”

Homicide: New York dropped five episodes on March 21 and quickly shot to the top of Netflix’s domestic Top 10 chart, even enjoying a run atop David Benioff...

Created by Dick Wolf, Homicide: New York is a true crime docuseries that shot to the top of the most-viewed charts upon its Netflix debut on March 20, 2024. The acclaimed five-part series covers one criminal case per episode, with the second chapter "Central Park Slaying" resonating among viewers more than most due to what happened to the two primary suspects.

True crime remains a remarkably popular genre, especially when Netflix is involved. The streamer continues to pump out horrific real-life tales of murder and mayhem, with multiple examples in 2024 already. Back in February, "Lover, Stalker, Killer" proved incredibly popular with its tale of online dating turned deadly, while "sickening" documentary "Hell Camp: Teen Nightmare" similarly drew hordes of viewers. Now, we've got yet another Netflix true crime hit on our hands with "Homicide: New York."

From "Law & Order" creator Dick Wolf, this latest docuseries explores multiple crimes from New York history. Interviews with detectives, prosecutors, victims, and friends and family all help to pad out the retellings and give a more personal insight into the various crimes, which range from the 2001 Carnegie Deli massacre to a 1997 stabbing murder. These cases are supposedly among the investigators' toughest and most challenging, and are explored throughout the series' five episodes. The conceit...

John Munch is one of the most iconic detectives within the Law & Order franchise. However, this character was first introduced in another show that was not created by Dick Wolf. John Munch, portrayed by Richard Belzer, was a unique live-action fictional character, as he appeared in several different shows that seemingly had no connection to each other. While many characters in the Law & Order franchise have done crossover episodes within their shows and other Dick Wolf productions, Detective John Munch broke the mold by making cameos in unexpected shows.

From The X-Files to even Sesame Street, Detective John Munch has appeared in a total of 10 different TV shows. Belzer first made his debut as John Munch in the procedural drama Homicide: Life on the Streets, which ran for a total of seven seasons, and a TV movie titled Homicide: The Movie. Richard Belzer starred in Homicide alongside beloved...

Thirty years after “Homicide: Life on the Street” hit the airwaves, a UK filmmaker and podcaster and a Baltimore camera assistant decided it was time to revisit the groundbreaking drama that garnered numerous awards during its seven seasons on NBC. Their new monthly behind-the-scenes podcast, Homicide: Life on the Set, premieres in March, focusing on creators and crew, including engaging conversations with camera, lighting and sound techs, creators, writers, actors, directors and more, including Jean de Segonzac, Tom Fontana and Kyle Secor.

“In early 2023, I started researching and developing a concept for a UK-based police film,” filmmaker Chris Carr said. “Always a huge fan of ‘Homicide,’ especially its gritty, cinéma-vérité shooting style, I started looking for a camera crew member to interview about how the show was shot. Susan Ingram, a camera assistant, agreed to talk with me and that’s how we got cracking.”

“I was excited when Chris...

Dick Wolf, the creator of the beloved police procedural drama Law & Order, is partnering with Netflix for his next project, Homicide: New York. Debuting on March 20, today’s Homicide: New York trailer depicts the first chapter of a true-crime docuseries built with franchise potential. The next installment of the presentation, Homicide: Los Angeles, will launch later this year. Each series is five episodes long, with the project hailing from Wolf Entertainment, Dan Cutforth, and Jane Lipsitz’s Alfred Street Industries.

Homicide: New York explores the Big Apple’s most notorious murder cases by following the detectives and prosecutors who solved them. Wolf’s Homicide franchise is not part of his deal with Universal Studio Group.

In the Homicide: New York trailer, law enforcement individuals share first-hand accounts of some of their gruesome cases. As the footage continues, we hear tales of murder, deception, and depravity happening in the City That Never Sleeps.

Since 1990, Dick Wolf’s name has been synonymous with Law & Order, one of the most celebrated crime drama procedurals of all time, and all the spin-offs to come with it. Taking notes from some of the most gripping headlines over the last few decades, the show has never fully delved into a true-crime story. But that’s all about to change as, along with Alfred Street Industries, Wolf is attaching his name and production company, Wolf Entertainment, to a new Netflix docuseries titled Homicide. Split into two parts, Homicide: New York and Homicide: Los Angeles will tell gritty and stranger than fiction tales of stomach-churning murder cases from the perspectives of the detectives and prosecutors. A first-look trailer pushes audiences into the case files alongside those who know them best.

Netflix is adding content from another TV titan to its roster of originals. Homicide: New York, a true-crime docuseries from Law & Order creator Dick Wolf, is set to debut on the streamer on March 20. It will be followed by Homicide: Los Angeles later this year. Both installments consist of five episodes each.

Homicide, from Wolf Entertainment and Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz’s Alfred Street Industries, tells the stories of a city’s most notorious murder cases by following the detectives and prosecutors who cracked them.

The project predates Wolf’s current massive deal with Universal Studio Group (signed in 2020 and extended in 2023 through 2027), which includes a first-look agreement with Universal Television Alternative Studio for unscripted/docu-series.

Homicide is executive produced by Wolf, Tom Thayer, the head of the non-scripted arm of Wolf Entertainment who was instrumental in getting the project together, Lipsitz, Cutforth, Nan Strait, Dan Volpe and Adam Kassen.

David Simon, the writer and producer, expressed his appreciation for Braugher's acting skills and their collaborative work on the show, demonstrating the strong bond they shared.

Homicide: Life on the Street has been missing on streaming services, but according to David Simon, NBC is working on it.

‘Homicide’ writer/producer David Simon took to social media this weekend to update fans on the prospect of the show heading to streaming.

The entertainment world was shocked and saddened to learn of the passing of actor Andre Braugher on Dec. 11. But fans may soon have a new way to celebrate Braugher’s life and career, as the series that initially brought him to stardom, “Homicide: Life on the Street,” could be gearing up to find its way to streaming at long last.

“Homicide” writer/producer David Simon posted on X (the social media platform formerly known as Twitter) that the show may finally be headed to streaming soon. The show is most likely to head to Peacock, but its rights may be licensed to a third-party platform. “Murphy Brown” and “Northern Exposure” head list of other popular titles that can’t be streamed anywhere currently. Sign Up $5.99+ / month peacocktv.

“Homicide: Life on the Street” writer and producer David Simon revealed in an X/Twitter post that the series may be heading to streaming services.

“I have been informed by a reliable source that NBC/Universal is at last attempting, along with Fremantle on the overseas rights, to clear music rights on #Homicide for eventual streaming. Lot of work to do achieve that, however, I am also told,” Simon wrote. “Andre alone ought to rate such.”

The news comes days after the death of Andre Braugher, who portrayed Detective Frank Pembleton on the police drama series. Braugher died Dec. 11 of lung cancer at age 61.

I have been informed by a reliable source that NBC/Universal is at last attempting, along with Fremantle on the overseas rights, to clear music rights on #Homicide for eventual streaming. Lot of work to do achieve that, however, I am also told.

Andre alone ought to rate such.

Andre Braugher’s cause of death has been revealed to be lung cancer, his rep has confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter.

Braugher died Monday at 61 after what his rep then said was a “brief illness.”

He starred as master interrogator Det. Frank Pembleton on NBC’s Homicide: Life on the Street for the first six seasons of the show’s acclaimed run, then played another cop, Capt. Raymond Holt — this time against type and for laughs — on the 2013-21 Fox-nbc sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

He won his first Emmy in 1998 for outstanding lead actor in a drama series for Homicide after a season that featured one of its most memorable episodes, “Subway.” That was a two-hander in which Pembleton tries to unearth whether a man (Vincent D’Onofrio) pinned between a Baltimore subway train and the platform was pushed onto the track — while also trying to comfort him in his dying moments.

Andre Braugher died following a brief battle with lung cancer.

His publicist, Jennifer Allen, confirmed the cancer diagnosis to The New York Times Thursday — four days after the beloved actor passed away at the age of 61. (According to a 2014 New York Times Magazine profile, Braugher, a former smoker, had quit “years ago.”)

But it started with his years on “Homicide.” Braugher played Detective Frank Pembleton, one of the most unforgettable characters that television has ever produced, thanks to the brilliance of executive producers Tom Fontana, Barry Levinson and Jim Finnerty and a murderers row of a writers room. The stellar supporting cast alongside included Ned Beatty, Melissa Leo and Yaphet Kotto.

In the first episode of the Nineties NBC cop drama Homicide: Life on the Street, Baltimore police detective Frank Pembleton, played by a then-obscure actor named Andre Braugher, reluctantly takes on a young partner, Tim Bayliss (Kyle Secor). Bayliss, new to homicide investigation, is eager to watch Pembleton interrogate a murder suspect, which prompts Frank to explain, “What you will be privileged to witness will not be an interrogation, but an act of salesmanship — as silver-tongued and thieving as ever moved used cars, Florida swampland, or Bibles. But what I...

The first time I interviewed Andre Braugher, he was uncertain and uncomfortable. It was hard to process, coming from an actor who had made certitude into his calling card. Braugher was righteous and righteously correct or he was nothing, but it took the courage and conviction of an Andre Braugher character to shift that image as wildly and vividly as the actor did in the last third of his career.

It was the fall of 2014, just weeks after the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards. With two earlier wins already to his credit, Braugher had been nominated for the first season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, his first nod in a comedy category. His performance as Capt. Raymond Holt on Brooklyn Nine-Nine was rooted in the years he’d spent playing stern authority figures, but at the same time, this version of the Braugher persona seemed revelatory. It opened the comedy doors sufficiently that...

Harrison Ford doesn’t have a whole lot to be embarrassed about. In addition to being the most beloved movie star in the world for nearly five decades, Ford has amassed critical acclaim for his performances both in and outside the beloved franchises that he’s been involved with. Ford has a relatively low number of misses; while Paranoia and Hollywood Homicide represent some of the lower points of his career, no actor has a spotless track record. Ford’s resume is much more solid than many of his contemporaries (as he’s yet to tread into the direct-to-vod films that Robert De Niro and Al Pacino so often star in), but there’s one performance from early on in his career that Ford is truly humiliated by.

The First 48 Season 23 has become a milestone run for the A&e show. Just three months after Tulsa Homicide set a series record, "Back Street" features Tulsa's Detective Jason White working his 100th homicide case. It also demonstrates why the show is still on and how Det. White has become an integral part of it. If this were a scripted procedural, the 100th homicide would be a very special episode with dramatic stakes and some emotional subplot. In reality, Det. White does what he's always done all along, and because he doesn't make a big deal out of it, neither does The First 48.

He's not the first detective to reach the 100-case mark on the show, even in his own department. Det. Michael Zenoni hit his 101st homicide in Season 17, Episode 8, "Knock Knock." Zenoni...

For many decades, the “Big Three” networks dominated American television, bringing laughter, drama, breaking news and real-life events into our homes. NBC, CBS and ABC have broadcast thousands of fictional programs, sporting events, talk shows and news programs for nearly a century, with roots in radio. Television programming began in the 1940s, with the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) leading the way, establishing several firsts for the medium, and becoming home to some of the longest-running programs in the history of the small screen.

But which 30 primetime and late night scripted series are the absolute best? We rank our favorites based on quality, quantity (number of seasons/episodes), impact on society and other shows, plus Emmy Awards nominations/wins. Each show on our list has some combo of at least a few of those traits (some have all four!).

In 1948, Milton Berle began hosting “Texaco Star Theatre,” and ruled Tuesday night television for several years,...

This week’s “Ted Lasso” ends with a tribute. As the credits roll, the first words that appear are “In memory of Grant Wahl.”

Wahl, the beloved soccer writer who passed away suddenly last December at the age of 49 while covering the 2022 World Cup, was a presence in this season’s opening chapters. In “Big Week,” Season 3’s fourth episode, Coach Beard (Brendan Hunt) carries Wahl’s 2009 book “The Beckham Experiment.” Aside from the book being a sensible fit for a show about soccer, the story behind Wahl’s profile of a team helped “Ted Lasso” sort through some of its own questions about their own press-conference-star-turned-book-writing-reporter Trent Crimm (James Lance).

“As we were putting together the storyline of Trent embedding himself with the team, that’s exactly what Grant did with LA Galaxy. So we reached out to him with a few questions, hoping he might have some time...

In the penultimate season of “The Good Fight,” series costar Delroy Lindo bid farewell to his savvy and charismatic character Adrian Boseman. For the final season of the Paramount+ show, which aired its series finale on Nov. 10, creators Robert King and Michelle King introduced the equally compelling Andre Braugher to the ensemble in the role of Ri’Chard Lane, a walking brand of a lawyer and a Machiavellian character who complicates the leadership dynamics between Diane Lockhart (Christine Baranski) and named partner Liz Reddick (Audra McDonald). Could the celebrated award-winning actor, who delivered a bravura turn as the scene-stealing Ri’Chard, help the overlooked show finally break through at the Emmy Awards?

Much like his co-star Baranski, Braugher has been an Emmy nominations magnet with 11 to date, attracting acclaim and recognition for his work across genres throughout his career.

A brief cameo by Richard Belzer in The Wire season 5 links back to a previous David Simon project, placing the hard-hitting social drama in a very different context. Richard Belzer, who sadly passed away on February 19, 2023, was best known for his role as Detective John Munch, a stalwart of network television from 1993 to 2016. Munch was first introduced in Homicide: Life on the Street, adapted from the true crime novel Homicide: A Year On The Killing Streets by investigative journalist and Wire co-creator David Simon. From there, Munch went on to feature in many of the great TV dramas of the 20th and 21st centuries.

After featuring in multiple series across Dick Wolf's Law & Order universe, including Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Richard Belzer's John Munch finally returned to David Simon's Baltimore in The Wire season 5. Belzer's co-star Clark Johnson also played the role of Baltimore Sun city editor Augustus Haynes,...

Richard Belzer was the first actor to welcome me when I started at Svu. Open, warm, acerbic, whip smart, surprisingly kind.

Stars from "Law & Order: Svu" and beyond are paying tribute to Richard Belzer after the actor died at the age of 78 at his home in France on Feb. 19. The actor's friend writer Bill Scheft, confirmed the news to The Hollywood Reporter. "He had lots of health issues, and his last words were 'F*ck you, motherf*cker,'" Scheft said of the actor and comedian.

Belzer played Detective Munch on "Svu" from 1999 to 2016, but the character was much bigger than just one series. He originated the role on "Homicide: Life on the Street" in 1993 before continuing to play the sardonic detective on "Svu" after "Homicide" came to an end. Additionally, he made guest appearances as Munch on an additional eight shows including "The X-Files" and "30 Rock." Given how prolific his career was, it's no surprise the actor was beloved.

Since his death was announced, his costars have been...
