"Flashpoint" Returns Next Summer
If you’ve been wondering where CBS’s summer hit crime drama, Flashpoint went, there’s no cause for alarm. Flashpoint was renewed by CBS in September, and they’ve ordered 13 new episodes scheduled to air in the summer of 2009. If you missed this amazing crime drama, check out the video promo here:
Simulcast in the US and Canada, Flashpoint was a top scripted original series, and averaged 7.73 million viewers during the summer, winning its time period against non-Olympic competition.
Flashpoint tells the story of a group of cops who are part of a highly skilled tactical police unit, the Strategic Response Unit. Their daily lives are filled with risks, as they take on hostage rescues, gang busts, and defusing live bombs. The series stars include Enrico Colantoni, Hugh Dillon, Amy Jo Johnson, and David Paetkau.
Although the show is currently not on CBS’ fall schedule, it will be back as a summer hit. Matt Roush at TV Guide answered a fan’s question about the series in August. Though he isn’t a big fan of the show, he did note the series has done well enough that it could even show up again mid-season if another show fails. For now, we wait for Flashpoint to heat up our summer!
Update: The series is scheduled for 2009, and we assume it will be back in the summer since it began as a summer series.

That’s good to know! We started watching it on a whim and ended up really liking it, and wondered the last few weeks where it was (keep forgetting to go find out! :D ). Thanks for the heads-up!
