Cold Case is a 2018 television series classified in the crime and documentary genres. The programme follows a team of specialist detectives who re‑examine some of New Zealand’s most chilling unsolved murders, returning to cold cases in order to uncover new information. Each installment centers on the investigative work of these detectives as they revisit evidence, interview witnesses and explore leads that have remained dormant. The series is listed on The Movie Database, where it is described solely by the premise of New Zealand‑based detectives tackling historic homicide investigations. No cast members are recorded in the TMDB entry, indicating that the show’s personnel have not been publicly documented in that source. As a documentary‑styled crime series, Cold Case presents real‑world investigative processes rather than fictional storytelling, emphasizing the procedural aspects of solving long‑standing murder cases within the New Zealand context.
