Is There A New Dateline on Tonight? (January 3, 2025)

Dateline Season 33 has been full of twists and turns and in-depth investigations. 

By Kaitlin Kimont

Between investigations full of twists and turns and exclusive interviews with key figures in the biggest true crime cases, Dateline has kept us on our toes for 33 riveting seasons. 

How to Watch

Watch Dateline on NBC and Peacock

NBC’s longest-running primetime series aired its first episode in 1992 with Stone Phillips and Jane Pauley. In the early days, Dateline was a “whole world of things” beyond true crime stories, correspondent Keith Morrison said in a video on the series' history. In fact, one of Morrison’s first Dateline stories was about fitness guru Jack LaLanne.

“We’ve changed, of course, and evolved,” Morrison explained. “By the time Lester Holt joined us as anchor in 2011, we’d become pioneers in true crime. Long before it became the huge genre that it is today.”

The cast of Dateline

Throughout Season 33, the Dateline team has reported on a variety of true crime stories such as the “Black Swan” trial, “possible new evidence” in the Menendez brothers’ case, and the death of Boston police officer, John O’Keefe
