Homicide: Life on the Street is returning to screens in the U.K. and Ireland exclusively on Sky and NOW, which has picked up all seven seasons of the classic police drama.
The show has been remastered in HD and UHD. A three-time Peabody Award winner and four-time Emmy Award winner, Homicide: Life on the Street launched in 1993 and ran for 122 episodes.
The series became a global hit, with Fremantle selling the original in over 167 territories worldwide. It was revamped and launched in the U.S. on NBCUniversal’s Peacock in August 2024.
Jamie Lynn, executive VP of co-production and distribution for EMEA, International, said: “Homicide: Life on the Street was the first drama of its kind when it launched, and it truly set the template for the scripted television revolution that followed. There’s been endless anticipation from fans who can’t wait to have it back on British screens, so we’re excited to be working with our incredible partners at Sky, giving both loyal and new audiences a chance to experience this remastered version not only on linear but on streaming for the first time.”
Jamie Morris, executive director of content strategy and performance for Sky, said: “We’re delighted that this iconic series is coming to the U.K. and Ireland and cannot wait for our customers to experience all seven series. Homicide: Life on the Street set the bar for some of the greatest series of all time, many of which you can watch on Sky and NOW alongside this legendary drama, which has been lovingly restored.”
