US television show Cops has been dropped by the Paramount Network after 33 seasons on air, as protests against police proliferate around the world. “Cops is not on the Paramount Network and we don’t have any current or future plans for it to return,” a spokesperson for the cable channel said in a statement on Tuesday.

The show had been pulled temporarily from the air in late May, when protests aimed at police over the death of George Floyd began to gain momentum.

That move has now become permanent. It was not immediately clear whether Langley Productions, which makes Cops, would try to find a new network to broadcast the show.
