Cold Squad is a Canadian crime series devoted to the investigations of a group of Vancouver police detectives specializing in "cold" cases, led by Detective-Sergeant Ali McCormick (Julie Stewart).
Cast members during the series' run included Michael Hogan, Joy Tanner, Tamara Craig Thomas, Tahmoh Penikett and Matthew Bennett.
It was first broadcast in 1998, and cancelled in 2004. The series' seventh (and final) season ran until Spring 2005, as part of a special "crime time", Saturday nights on CTV. However, due to CTV's sporadic scheduling, the last episodes of the series finished airing earlier in their French-dubbed version, on Séries+, before the end of 2004.
When Cold Case premiered, the show's similarities to Cold Squad led Julia Keatley and Matt MacLeod, the creators of Cold Squad, to retain an intellectual property attorney to look into the case.[1]
In 2005 Program Partners / Sony Pictures Television announced that it had acquired the US syndication rights and will start airing the show for the first time for United States audiences beginning in September 2006.
