It has been announced that HLN, which has been airing reruns of Forensic Files for years, has ordered new episodes of the series. The new episodes will begin airing in 2020. Since series narrator Peter Thomas died in 2016, there will, of course, be a new narrator, but no announcement has been made yet on who it will be. One thing is for certain, however: Whoever narrates the new Forensic Files will have big shoes to fill.
