New York, NY - March 4, 2026 - The HISTORY Channel(TM) has greenlit the new nonfiction series "Crime and Justice with Tom Selleck" (working title), hosted, narrated, and executive produced by award-winning actor Tom Selleck ("Magnum P.I.," "Blue Bloods") and produced by A+E Factual Studios(TM) group.

"Throughout my career, I've been drawn to stories about consequences and the pursuit of justice," said Tom Selleck. "This series looks at real cases from across American history and the people tasked with seeing them through - moments when the pressure was intense, the outcome uncertain, and the decisions carried lasting consequences."
"Tom has long brought credibility and insight to stories about law and justice," said Eli Lehrer, Executive Vice President and Head of Programming for The HISTORY Channel. "That background makes him a natural partner for this project. We're pleased to be working with Tom on a series that looks at real crimes, real investigations, and the people responsible for upholding the law when the stakes were highest."
From the dusty streets of the Old West to the high-tech manhunts of today, "Crime and Justice with Tom Selleck" (w.t.) examines moments when law enforcement faced long odds and was forced to adapt in order to prevail. Guided by Selleck - whose career has long reflected American grit and responsibility - the series takes viewers inside real investigations, standoffs, and takedowns that upheld the law and helped shape the nation's understanding of justice.
