Wolf Entertainment is an American television production company founded in 1988 by producer Dick Wolf, known for its television franchises Law & Order, Chicago, and FBI.

In February 2020, Wolf Entertainment signed one of the largest deals in television history. The nine-figure deal, which spans broadcast and streaming, keeps the company and its high-profile projects at Universal Television, the company's long-time home, for an additional five years.[1]

Originally named Wolf Films, the company was rebranded to Wolf Entertainment in 2019.[2] As of July 2021, the company had produced around 1900 hours of television and received 94 Emmy nominations.

Television

Wolf Entertainment dominates prime-time network television in the United States, with full-night lineups on both NBC and CBS. Current series include FBI, FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International (Tuesdays), Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., and Chicago Med (Wednesdays), Law & Order, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and Law & Order: Organized Crime (Thursdays).

In 2021, Wolf Entertainment became part of the conversation around depictions of policing in the media. In a conversation with fellow Wolf Entertainment star Julian McMahon on Wolf Entertainment's YouTube page, Chicago P.D. star Jason Beghe explained "I think we feel a certain sense of responsibility to address these issues, which is fun and challenging. Thankfully we have some good writers and good advisers."[3]

Streaming

In 2022, Wolf Entertainment will dip its toes into the streaming world with its new series On Call. The half-hour drama series, which will follow a veteran and rookie police officer in Long Beach, California, was picked up by Amazon's Freevee. The series is a joint production with ATTN: and Universal Television.[4]

Podcasts

In 2019, Wolf Entertainment ventured into the podcast space, launching "The Squadroom", a Law & Order: Special Victims Unit companion show.[5]

Additionally, Wolf premiered a scripted podcast called "Hunted" starring Parker Posey in the fall of 2019.[6] The podcast, which was touted as the first of many upcoming podcasts from the production company, was executive produced by the company's Head of Digital, Elliot Wolf.[7]
