Paranormal Cops is an American paranormal reality television series that premiered on January 19, 2010, on A&E. The program was produced by NorthSouth Productions for A&E. It followed the Chicago Paranormal Detectives as they "fought crime by day and hunted for paranormal happenings by night."[1] The series lasted for one six-episode season. Presumably due to ratings, the series is no longer produced by A&E Television Networks.[2] It was announced in early 2015 that Ghosts of Paranormal Cops, a series detailing the cancellation of Paranormal Cops, was in production and scheduled to air later that year. A&E, however, ultimately decided to cancel the project before its September premier.
