Cold Case Season 8? – Update

No!

It has finally been announced, though not quite officially by CBS, that Cold Case will not be renewed for another season. Unfortunately it comes as no great shock, but that doesn’t make it any less disappointing to hear.

Jonathan Littman, an executive producer on many Bruckheimer shows, sent this Tweet earlier:

Rainy day brings gloomy news with COLD CASE and MIAMI MEDICAL not being renewed. A great run on one and a way too short run on the other. – Link

With CBS picking up 4 new drama series yesterday (Hawaii 5-0, Defenders, Blue Bloods and a Criminal Minds spin-off) something had to go to make room.

Let me reiterate what I said in my earlier piece about Cold Case past, present and future: Thank you to all involved in making 7 seasons of a great show. Best wishes for the future to everyone.

Update: Jeremy Ratchford (Nick Vera on Cold Case) has posted a comment on IMDb thanking all the fans for watching these past 7 seasons. You can read it here.

Update 2: CBS have announced their fall schedule. Cold Case is not on it. See here and here.

Providence – The Third Thing

My intention was to write a longer piece about this, as I did for the two Xena episodes (see part 1 & part 2) but there really isn’t much to describe here. That is not to say this is a insignificant role, just a simple one to lay out.

This is Kathryn very much in her “guest starring” period. Between leaving Pensacola: Wings Of Gold and being propelled into the big time by Minority Report Kathryn amassed quite a collection of acting credits. From almost throw-away roles, literally in the case of her scenes deleted from The Last Castle, to movie carrying tour de forces, she did them all. Working with so many different casts and crews must have been a given her a solid grounding in the “business that is show.”

Cold Case – Past, Present & Future

Now the dust has settled on the season 7 finalé I thought I would put a few thoughts down on the more general subject of Cold Case, seeing as we’ve possibly just witnessed its ending. I don’t normally comment much on each episode but these two latest episodes were so significant it warranted something extra. As you can see it got me in a contemplative and slightly rambling mood. Sorry about that

Feel free to comment.

Cold Case S07E22 – Shattered Screencaps

Shattered? I know I am!

Lilly’s sister goes missing. Scotty helps track her down. The rest of the squad investigates an old case of Will’s and discover a ‘chief’ suspect.

And that’s that for season 7 of Cold Case. Possibly the last season ever. Will the squad be back in the autumn? Will we see Lilly return with a different badge? Hopefully CBS will let us know about its plans in the next few weeks. Check back here regularly in the coming weeks for the latest news on that. Remember, you’ll read it hear… er… second probably, maybe third

Personally, for now, I’m going with Cold Case not being renewed and there being no spin-offs. That way if that turns out to be the case I can’t be disappointed. If we do get another season that will make it even better news.

I’ll post more thoughts on the finalé and the show in general later.
