Law&Crime launches First on the Scene series
January 9, 2025
Legal and true crime network Law&Crime has announced the launch of its newest acquired production, First on the Scene. The show, which features raw footage captured in the immediate aftermath of headline-grabbing events, was co-producted by WTFN Entertainment and RMG News and Executive Produced by Paul Rudd, Howard Raishbrook and Shannon Watts. Premiering January 11th, the series will be available to stream on both Law&Crime’s linear channel and YouTube platform of over 6 million subscribers.
First on the Scene spotlights exclusive footage captured by video journalists and ride-along observers arriving first on the scene of America’s most unbelievable stories from major US cities such as Los Angeles, Houston, San Diego and Chicago. Each half-hour episode features eight thrilling news clips from jaw-dropping events including high-speed car chases and hit-and-runs, plane crashes, out-of-control flooding, wildfire disasters, high-stakes shootings and even wild animals on the loose. The stories behind the clips are then retold and analyzed through exclusive interviews with a cast of returning experts – police officers, firefighters, paramedics and crime reporters – giving viewers the sense they are watching these events unfold in real time.
The premiere of First on the Scene is the most recent in a series of significant expansions and acquisitions made by Law&Crime’s channels. Most recently, the network has obtained the rights to stream hit shows such as The Lineup, COPS Reloaded, JAIL and Annie Elise x 10 to LIFE, in addition to launching two original affiliate channels, Law&Crime Body Cam and Law&Crime Investigates.
