Tom Selleck to host new crime series for The History Channel
The Emmy-winning Blue Bloods alum will host, narrate, and executive produce the series, which examines the true stories behind some of the most consequential crimes an investigations in American history. Across 10 hour-long episodes, the show will trace “the enduring battle between law and lawlessness—and the lawmen who ultimately brought some of the nation’s most dangerous criminals to justice,” the network said in a press release.
“Throughout my career, I’ve been drawn to stories about consequences and the pursuit of justice,” Selleck said. “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.”
Crime and Justice with Tom Selleck will air during the 2026-27 broadcast season. A specific premiere date has not been announced. It’s the first confirmed TV project for Selleck since Blue Bloods wrapped up its 14-season run in December 2024.
