It's been a long time coming, but Homicide: Life on the Street is finally making its way to streaming. After it was recently teased that the show would soon start streaming, it's been confirmed that its new home will be at Peacock.

On Monday, it was announced that all seven seasons of Homicide: Life on the Street are coming to Peacock on Aug. 19, 2024. The show has never been made available on any of the major streaming platforms up to this point due to all of the issues with the rights that needed to be sorted out. Undoubtedly, this will be great news for fans who remember watching the series but have not since had a way to revisit it with other beloved classics from the era.

One of the most revered police dramas of all time, Homicide: Life on the Street, examines the calculating and exacting detective work of Baltimore’s often confrontational, passionate, and opinionated homicide department.

With a determined cast of characters that never let up in their quest for truth and justice, this gripping hourlong series remains the standard bearer of how police handle the job both professionally and personally.

From Universal Television, Homicide: Life on the Street originally launched on NBC in 1993 and ran for seven seasons, for a total of 122 episodes. It was succeeded by Homicide: The Movie in 2000, which served as the series finale.

The series was created by Paul Attanasio and based on David Simon’s book Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets. Tom Fontana was the series head writer and showrunner.

Throughout its run, Homicide: Life on the Street was critically acclaimed, receiving nominations and accolades from the Television Critics Association,...

One of the more critically acclaimed dramas of the past 30 years has at last found a streaming home.

Starting Aug. 19, Peacock will feature Homicide: Life on the Street. All seven seasons and 122 episodes of the former NBC show, as well as the series-wrapping Homicide: The Movie from 2000, will be available, remastered for HD and 4K viewing.

Homicide was based on David Simon’s book Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets and created by Paul Attanasio; Tom Fontana was the showrunner and executive produced with Barry Levinson, Henry Bromell and Jim Finnerty. The series followed detectives in Baltimore’s homicide unit and was praised for its acting and a more realistic depiction of detective work — including some cases that don’t get solved — than on many other network crime dramas.

Over the show’s seven seasons, the cast featured Andre Braugher — who won his first Emmy 1998 for playing Detective Frank Pembleton — Ned Beatty,...

Exclusive: There will be no second miraculous renewal for USA Network’s supernatural thriller drama Falling Water. The cable network has opted not to order a third season of the series, from the late Henry Bromell, Brotherhood creator Blake Masters, The Walking Dead executive producer Gale Anne Hurd and Juan Carlos Fresnadillo.

For two seasons, Falling Water has been USA’s lowest-rated series in linear ratings, averaging 461,000 viewers and 0.14 adults 18-49 rating in Live+Same Day in Season 1 and slipping to 349,000 viewers and a 0.09 in Season 2.

Based on its linear ratings, Falling Water should’ve been canceled after the first season. But Its dense mythology, solid 30% L+3 DVR gains and steady viewership during Season 1 made the series a solid binge prospect for a streaming service. It was taken out and landed a deal with Amazon for exclusive Svod rights. The pact helped secure a Season 2 renewal by USA.

Claire Danes is accustomed to answering questions about “Homeland” every year, but on Thursday evening the star took a turn as questioner in a sit-down with Lesli Linka Glatter, the series’ director/executive producer, for a conversation about the show and the career path of one of TV’s most sought-after helmers.

Glatter admitted that she had a “panic attack” when she got the script for the first episode she directed of the Showtime drama series back in 2012. She wound up earning an Emmy and Directors Guild nomination for her work on “Q&A,” the much-praised season two installment that features a famously long and intense interrogation scene between Danes’ Carrie Mathison and Damian Lewis’ Nicholas Brody.

When she first read the script by late “Homeland” exec producer Henry Bromell, she thought: “It’s 40 pages in a room,” she said, noting that there was little she could do in the way of “camera tricks.

2016-10-12T16:33:31-07:00'Falling Water' Delivers Dream Imagery and a Dense Plot

Falling Water, a new fantasy drama on USA, is asking a lot of its viewers. It's offering up some stunning visual imagery, but it's wrapping that imagery around a difficult-to-understand plot that, according to most reviewers, makes the series frustrating and not exactly exciting.

The series involves several characters, including a designer, a cop, and a corporate security expert, who lead wildly different lives in different places around the world. The thread that connects them is that they're all having extremely vivd, disturbing dreams, and we begin to realize quickly that they are somehow connected by the similarities in their dreams.

The series was created by the late Henry Bromell (Homeland) and Blake Masters (Brotherhood), and it is produced by Gale Anne Hurd (The Walking Dead). With a pedigree that includes such...

USA Network’s new drama series Falling Water is from Blake Masters and the late Henry Bromell, the Emmy-winning writer/executive producer of Showtime’s Homeland. At the network’s TCA panel today, Masters divulged on how the series came to fruition. “The way we came up with [the show] is we were drunk….It was actually my bachelor dinner, and Henry had this theory about how our dreams reflected our collective unconscious,” said Masters, who added that both his and Bromell’s…...

Don’t think of “Falling Water” as “Inception, Part Deux.” USA’s upcoming thriller, about a group of people linked by a mysterious dream they all share, might sound a lot like “Inception,” the hard-to-parse 2010 movie smash starring Leonard DiCaprio. But executive producer and co-creator Blake Masters told reporters Wednesday at the Television Critics Association’s summer press tour that the show actually sprang from a drunken conversation that he had in 2006 with his late writing partner, Henry Bromell.

Happy Friday, everyone! Time for a new installment of Ask Alan.

(Trigger warning: I may in fact sing my answer.)

"The Walking Dead" producer Gale Anne Hurd and her Valhalla Entertainment label is behind the new genre show "Falling Water" which has been ordered to series at USA Network.

Co-written by Blake Masters and the late Henry Bromell, the story revolves around three strangers (David Ajala, Will Yun Lee and Lizzie Brochere) who realize they are dreaming separate parts of the same dream that has implications for each of their lives.

Clues from their collective dream can help guide them not only on their personal quests involving loved ones, but could well be the key to the fate of the world.

Juan Carlos Fresnadillo directed the pilot and will serve as an executive producer on the series alongside Hurd, Masters and Bromell who is credited as an executive producer.

The world of TV has never been so crowded and, at the same time, geeks have never had it so good. As saturated as the big screen is with superhero films and sprawling shared universes, that mentality has well and truly bled onto the small screen too.

All the expected films are present, including 12 Years A Slave, American Hustle, Captain Phillips, Gravity, Her and The Wolf Of Wall Street.

In both circumstances, these characters were used well last year at certain points, but were also used rather poorly at other points, culminating in season finale departures that raised a lot of questions (such as “Do we buy into this whole Carrie/Brody relationship?” and “Is Brody even a necessary part of this series? Are any of the Brody family members?...

The thriller's second season ended with Brody on the run after fearing he would be accused of a terrorist attack on CIA headquarters. The season three clip sees Carrie give her testimony of the event, which killed 219 people.
