Latest News About Bon Cop Bad Cop Serie

Here’s the latest on the Bon Cop, Bad Cop series up to May 2026.

• TV reboot in development and release status: A bilingual Bon Cop, Bad Cop TV series is in development by Bell Media/Crave with a production start in 2025 and expected debut in 2026. The show features David Bouchard returning with a new partner, and Henry Czerny stepping into the role of Martin Ward, replacing Colm Feore. This marks a continuation of the franchise in a serialized format rather than a stand-alone film.[1][2][6]

• Cast and creative changes: Patrick Huard remains central as creator and lead, while the original Colm Feore portrayal of Martin Ward is not carried over to the new series due to scheduling commitments, with Czerny taking over the Ward role. The series also introduces Joshua Odjick as Joe Broom and expands on Indigenous-story elements, including a setting around the Gesgapegiag First Nation community.[2][4][6]

• Release timing and reception: Reports indicate the six-episode (or six-part) format slated for release in 2026, with press coverage noting audience skepticism about recasting but highlighting the show’s aim to preserve the franchise’s chemistry and bilingual, cross-Canada vibe. Early interviews emphasize continuity of tone and the potential for more episodes if the reception is strong.[4][2]

• Context for fans: The original Bon Cop, Bad Cop (2006) was a bilingual Canadian hit that spawned a sequel (Bon Cop Bad Cop 2) released in 2017. The new TV project arrives more than a decade after the film series, seeking to capture the franchise’s cross-provincial energy in a fresh format while expanding into Indigenous-set storylines.[3][5][7]

Illustration of the current status:

• Status: In production with 2026 debut planned
• Key changes: New partner for Bouchard, Henry Czerny as Ward, no Colm Feore
• Setting: Canada-wide investigation with Indigenous community focus
