Past Life is an American crime drama television series which aired on Fox from February 9 to June 4, 2010. The series premiered on Tuesday, February 9 at 9:00 pm Eastern/8:00 pm Central. After the premiere, subsequent airings were broadcast on Thursdays beginning February 11, during the 9:00 pm Eastern/8:00 pm Central timeslot. The series was created by David Hudgins and inspired by the book The Reincarnationist, 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. Although seven episodes were produced, the series was canceled after three episodes aired due to rapidly declining ratings. The network announced plans to air the remaining episodes on successive Friday nights from May 28 to June 4, 2010. On June 8, Fox announced that they would not air the final two episodes.
Psychologist Dr. Kate McGinn and her partner, former detective Price Whatley, attempt to help Noah, a teen suffering from regression episodes - repressed memories from a past life - in which Noah remembers a previous life's kidnapping and murder. Together with Dr. Malachi Talmadge and Dr. Rishi Karna, McGinn and Whatley work to track down the perpetrator of a crime committed 14 years earlier.
The team meets Corrine, a young woman dealing with addiction whose regression episodes include graphic details of a violent crime scene. Meanwhile, Kate and Price travel to Florida in hopes of uncovering Corrine's role in the crime, which could also help save an innocent death row inmate from execution.
When two people share the same flashbacks/regressive episodes, Kate, Price, Malachi and Rishi discover the couple are star-crossed lovers who rediscover each other in each life, and the team must go to great lengths to keep the pair from fulfilling a destructive pattern.
When a young girl exhibits physical manifestations from traumatic past-life memories, she is dubbed a saint by the media and is brought to the team’s attention. From saint to sinner, the “Saint” Sarah case leads Kate and Price to a serial killer.
When an office worker with no previous psychiatric history is accused of stealing, he erupts in a violent outburst forcing his co-workers to call in the Talmadge team. Kate and Price travel with their patient to Texas only to discover he was involved in a violent crime.
