Past Life is an American crime drama television series which premiered on Fox on Tuesday, February 9, 2010 at 9:00 pm Eastern/8:00 pm Central.[1] After the premiere, subsequent airings were broadcast on Thursdays beginning February 11, 2010, during the 9:00 pm Eastern/8:00 pm Central timeslot.[2]

The series was created by David Hudgins[3] and inspired by the book The Reincarnationist,[1] a crime thriller by M.J. Rose, whose main character, Josh Ryder, solves a 21st-century crime with memories and clues from his past life in ancient Rome.[4]

Although seven episodes were produced,[5][6] the series was canceled after three episodes aired due to rapidly declining ratings.[7][8] The network announced plans to air the remaining episodes on successive Friday nights from May 28 to June 11, 2010[9]
