Day Break is an American crime drama television series for which one 13-episode season was produced. The series starred Taye Diggs as Detective Brett Hopper, who is framed for the murder of Assistant District Attorney Alberto Garza. Due to a time loop, Hopper lives the same day over and over. The series revolves around his attempt to solve the mystery of the murder and find out who is behind the conspiracy to frame him.

The series aired on the ABC network and premiered on November 15, 2006. It was cancelled on December 15 after only six episodes had aired.[1] The remaining episodes were subsequently made available online at ABC.com. Viewers for the show averaged 6.5 million.[2]

On March 16, 2008, the TV One cable network began airing the six previously broadcast episodes.[3] On April 20, the network began Sunday evening broadcasts of the remaining seven episodes, which had never been seen on television.[4]
