Efforts Underway to Stream 'Homicide: Life on the Street' Following Andre Braugher's Death

NBC/Universal is attempting to clear music rights for the series, as fans seek out Braugher's best-known roles.

Andre Braugher, known for his roles in 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' and 'Homicide: Life on the Street', passed away last week at the age of 61.
In the wake of Braugher's death, fans have been seeking out his best-known roles on streaming, but 'Homicide: Life on the Street' is currently unavailable due to music rights issues.
David Simon, author of the book 'Homicide: A Year On the Killing Streets' which the series was based upon, recently stated that NBC/Universal is attempting to clear music rights for the series to be streamed.
Simon also paid tribute to Braugher, who played Detective Frank Pembleton on the series, in a lengthy social media thread.
Prior to his death, Braugher was expected to appear in Netflix's new murder-mystery drama 'The Residence', which had only filmed four out of eight episodes before having to halt production due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.
