Telly Savalas is back as the brilliant and brazen Lieutenant Theo Kojak for the final season of one of television’s grittiest and most memorable detective dramas. Season Five cases involve a psychotic murderer, a homicide-ridden hospital, cops on the take and the reemergence of a killer from Kojak’s past — once thought dead! Created by Emmy® and Academy Award®–winning writer Abby Mann, Kojak ran for five seasons on CBS from 1973–1978 and spawned a series of TV movies throughout the 1980s and ’90s.
