Why aren’t new episodes of On Patrol: Live on this weekend, October 24th and 25th? The show feels like it just went on hiatus, and now, it is MIA once again. So, what is going on, and when will it be back? Keep reading for more details.
Why Aren’t New Episodes Of On Patrol: Live Airing This Weekend?
In early September 2025, On Patrol: Live went on a two-week hiatus. Initially, it was because of the Labor Day holiday, and then the hosts headed to CrimeCon. Viewers were shocked that there were reruns once again, given that the show was off for July 4th. It has also been very shaky with the panel, as Curtis Wilson has not been around as much. Sean ‘Sticks’ Larkin has been filling in, but at the same time, Dan Abrams took time off and was replaced by Ashleigh Banfield. These changes have been hard for everyone, and now, ahead of Halloween, the show is airing repeats.
This has left fans wondering why this is happening, given that the show just celebrated 300 episodes. Dan Abrams headed to the field with Richie Maher. It was a special event that was announced during the 300 weekend, along with special merchandise. However, for the weekend of the 25th, it will be a series of the show’s best moments. As of now, there is no reason given for the reruns, but it is clear that viewers will miss watching new episodes. They are also well aware that, since Halloween falls on a Friday, those episodes will be over the top.

So, for those who will be missing the hit live cop show, never fear, as On Patrol: Live is only away for one weekend. Then, it will be back with an epic and exciting weekend of costumed debauchery.
It Will Be Missed
On Patrol: Live fans love going around America, especially to Hazen, Arkansas, for the excitement of cop life. Therefore, not having new shows this weekend is a struggle. Moreover, viewers have found a community via social media of fellow fans who appreciate the series. After learning that Friday and Saturday were repeats, there was frustration and confusion:
- Last week Dan said he would be back in the studio this week……I wonder what changed.
- Are you insinuating rerun this weekend
- Reruns again?
As aforementioned, it is just for one week, and then the hit series will be back with new episodes. It is unclear when the next hiatus will be, but it will likely be around Thanksgiving.
