How to Watch the Return of ‘Cops’ on Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV, and Mobile Free Without Cable

After a brief hiatus of just over a year, popular unscripted drama Cops is returning to television. The long-running reality series is coming to streaming network Fox Nation. The absence and the change in viewing platforms won’t change much about the show itself, however, so for anyone who’s been missing their “Bad Boys” fix, you’ll be able to get it back soon enough. You can watch it with a subscription to Fox Nation.

About Cops

This season of Cops will be a return to form for the series. Apparently, it will be such a return to form it will be like it never left. The first four episodes will arrive on the streaming platform, and then new episodes will launch every Friday. The first episodes of the returning series will actually include 15 episodes from season 32. Those episodes originally aired on the Paramount Network before the show was pulled in the wake of the 2020 murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer.

Little appears to have changed from the original Cops series formula. Fox Nation president Jason Klarman also noted that, for first responders, including police and firefighters, there would be a special deal on hand as well. The deal offers said first responders a one-year subscription at no charge to allow them to watch other first responders do the same things they do all day anyway.
