Fox News’ Dr. Marc Siegel on the coronavirus vaccine development and how it's impacting the entertainment industry.
Months after the cancellation of "Cops" at the Paramount Network, the show has reportedly resumed production.
News of the cancellation came in June in the wake of the death of George Floyd and the subsequent protests and renewed interest in law enforcement policy.
"'Cops' is not on the Paramount Network and we don’t have any current or future plans for it to return," a Paramount Network spokesperson previously told Fox News.
The show's 33rd season premiere was also pulled from the air.

Now, the show has resumed production, though Sources told Fox Business that Paramount has nothing to do with the show.
Production is currently underway in Spokane County, Wash., a region that has played host to the show in the past.
"We have a longstanding relationship with 'Cops' and Langley productions, and we are pleased they have decided to return, highlighting the outstanding work our Deputies provide to all of you," said the Spokane County Sheriff's Office in an online press release.
