A&E’s The First 48 kicks off its 28th season with a grim discovery in Tulsa, Oklahoma—a man found lifeless outside his family home, a bullet wound to the head his only epitaph. Airing Thursday, June 12 at 8 PM ET, Friends No More puts viewers on the ground with Tulsa homicide detectives, a crew we’ve seen weather plenty of chaotic crime scenes over the years. This time, it’s a race against the clock as they attempt to retrace the victim’s final hours and bring the shooter to justice.
As the episode plays out, the question of ‘who’ and ‘why’ becomes central. Was it a robbery gone wrong? Or something more personal, a betrayal by someone within the victim’s circle? The episode title hints at fractured relationships and hidden motives, raising the stakes and ratcheting up the pressure on the detectives.
For longtime viewers, The First 48 offers a familiar, if grim, rhythm—crime scene tape, autopsies, the slow burn of interrogations—and access to the nuts-and-bolts work of solving a murder. This season premiere looks to keep the procedural engine humming.
The First 48 airs Thursday, June 12 at 8:00 PM ET on A&E.
