‘Cold Justice’ gets picked up by TNT for a second season
Criminals, beware: TNT has ordered a second season of its hit docu-drama “Cold Justice.†The show, which ranks as one of basic cable’s Top 5 new unscripted series of the year, follows former prosecutor Kelly Siegler and former crime scene investigator Yolanda McClary as they attempt to solve long-cold murder cases in small towns across America.
The show is produced by Wolf Films and Magical Elves. Dick Wolf (“Law & Order,†“Chicago Fireâ€), Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz (“Top Chef,†“Fashion Starâ€) and Tom Thayer (“Hitchcock,†“Bury My Heart at Wounded Kneeâ€) are executive producers.

“We’re very proud to be renewing ‘Cold Justice,’ which has already delivered real-world results for several of the cases featured on the show,†said David Eilenberg, TNT’s senior vice president of unscripted development, in a news release. “Viewers have come to see Kelly and Yolanda as a real-life counterpart to such crime-drama duos as ‘Cagney & Lacey’ and even our own ‘Rizzoli & Isles.’â€
To date, “Cold Justice†has resulted in a number of actions, including a guilty plea in a Cuero, Texas-based case, and three murder indictments in a Morehouse Parrish, La., case.
The first season of “Cold Justice†ends on Tuesday, Oct. 22. Season 2 is tentatively slated to debut in early 2014.
