Law&Crime and Court TV order six new true-crime series for autumn
Six new true-crime series are coming to Law&Crime and Court TV this autumn.
Law&Crime announced the slate under the banner "Partners in Crime" on 28 September 2026, according to Variety. All six titles are scheduled for fall 2026 and will run across YouTube, social platforms, the Law&Crime+ app and Court TV outlets.
The joint push follows a change in ownership. The E.W. Scripps Company agreed to sell its Court TV network to Law&Crime Network, as Law&Crime reported in February 2026. The two networks already share programming including "VPI: Vinnie Politan Investigates," "Sidebar with Jesse Weber" and "Scandal with Sierra Gillespie."
First out is "Court Wars With Cody Thomas." The weekly series is hosted by Court TV anchor Cody Thomas. It premieres in October 2026 with one-hour episodes every Saturday at 7 p.m. EST. Episodes will air on YouTube, Court TV FAST and linear, the Law&Crime+ app and social platforms. FAST means free ad-supported streaming channels watched over the internet, while linear means a traditional scheduled TV broadcast.
Four series follow in November 2026. "Code 3 With Ashleigh Banfield" features broadcast journalist Ashleigh Banfield with real-time analysis of law enforcement incidents. "Justice With Matt Johnson" is hosted by correspondent Matt Johnson. Both will be available on YouTube, Court TV FAST and linear, the Law&Crime+ app and social platforms.
The other two November launches are built for Court TV's own screens. "MissInformation" features journalist Marcella Baietto debunking misinformation around notorious crimes and cases. "Court Junkie," an audio podcast hosted by Jillian Jalali, makes its network debut. Both premiere in November 2026 on Court TV FAST and linear, the Law&Crime+ app and social platforms.
The final title lands in December 2026. "Boze vs. The World" features true-crime digital creator Ericka Bozeman. It premieres on YouTube, the Law&Crime+ app and social platforms.
For fans, this means one place to find the new shows. Viewers can catch most titles either on scheduled TV or on demand, with start dates rolling from October through December.
