Wolf Entertainment is an American television production company founded by producer Dick Wolf in 1988. The company produces television franchises including Law & Order, Chicago, and FBI.
In April 2023, Wolf Entertainment extended its multi-year agreement with Universal Television through 2027, building on the original nine-figure deal signed in February 2020 that spanned both broadcast and streaming platforms.
Originally named Wolf Films, the company was rebranded as Wolf Entertainment in 2019. As of 2024, it has produced 40 television series totaling over 2,500 episodes. The company has received 96 Emmy nominations.
Overview Wolf Entertainment produces several prime-time network television series that air on NBC and CBS. Current series include FBI, FBI: Most Wanted, and FBI: International (Tuesdays); Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., and Chicago Med (Wednesdays); and Law & Order, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and Law & Order: Organized Crime (Thursdays).
In 2023, Wolf Entertainment entered the streaming market with On Call, a half-hour drama series. Initially, Amazon Freevee, in a joint production with Amazon MGM Studios and Universal Television, picked up the series but later moved it to Amazon Prime Video, with the series' release occurring in January 2025. It was cancelled after one season in May 2025.
