“Cold Justice” is a reality-drama hybrid following former prosecutor Kelly Siegler and former crime-scene investigator Yolanda McClary as they set out to solve small-town murder cases that have lingered for years without answers or closure.
“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 TNT’s senior vice president of unscripted, David Eilenberg. “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.’”
