A&E TO PREMIERE NEW SERIES "CRIME IN PROGRESS" FOLLOWING THE EVOLUTION OF INVESTIGATIONS IN REAL TIME TOLD EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH RAW BODY CAM, DASH CAM AND SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE
NETWORK ORDERS 2 SEASONS OF SERIES AHEAD OF SEASON 1 PREMIERE ON THURSDAY, JANUARY 1 AT 10PM ET/PT
NEW YORK, NY - December 11, 2025 - A&E expands its acclaimed crime and investigation programming slate with a two-season order of "Crime in Progress" ahead of its debut. The story of each crime is woven together through raw, unfiltered video from the point of view of officer body cam and surveillance footage for a first-hand look at justice in action. Season one, consisting of 10, one-hour episodes, is set to premiere Thursday, January 1 at 10PM ET/PT.
Each episode follows the entire arc of an investigation - capturing crimes as they unfold in real time, exactly as they happened, with no reenactments or narration. From the first 911 call to the final verdict, every angle, every split-second decision, and every pulse-pounding confrontation is presented in vivid detail. The result is a visceral, edge-of-your-seat experience where viewers feel the weight of responsibility as officers make instant, life-altering choices, giving an unparalleled, 360-degree view of each case.
The premiere episode follows a routine traffic stop in New Mexico when suddenly the officer on the scene's radio falls silent, triggering a frantic manhunt caught entirely on body cam. Each critical moment occurs in real time as officers and detectives face life-or-death decisions on the front lines for justice.
"A&E has always been an industry leader when it comes to showcasing the processes of law enforcement and this series is a prime example of that," said Elaine Frontain Bryant, Executive Vice President & Head of Programming, A&E and Lifetime. "This unique vantage point allows viewers to become fully immersed with officers in the field as the investigations unfold in real time."

Executive producers for A+E Factual Studios are Steve Ascher, Cerise Fukuji, Jhamal K. Robinson, and Sharon Scott. Shelly Tatro and Jonathan Partridge serve as executive producers for A&E.
