Crime Beat is a thrilling Canadian television series that debuted in 2020 on Global. It is a crime series with a unique twist: it focuses not on the detectives, but on the journalists who cover the crime. The show is based on the popular podcast of the same name created by crime reporter Nancy Hixt. Serving as the host and the nucleus of the show, Hixt brings her wealth of experience from her 20 years of crime reporting to provide an in-depth lens into the gritty, shocking, and chilling crime tales.

Each episode of Crime Beat is centered around a specific crime case, ranging from murder and abduction to fraud and robbery. The show integrates a realistic and authentic approach by using real call recordings, crime scene footages, and interviews with investigators, victims, and often, the perpetrators themselves.

Hixt masterfully untangles the intricacies of each case, allowing the viewers to feel the tension and devastation experienced by the victims

Crime Beat is a series that ran for 7 seasons (133 episodes) between March 7, 2020 and on Global
