How Wolf Entertainment's New Cop Drama Will Be Fundamentally Different From Chicago P.D. And Law And Order

Chicago PD Atwater and Ruzek

No fewer than nine scripted series make up the Wolf Entertainment universe on network television, with the three One Chicago shows, three Law & Order shows, and three FBI shows. Now, another scripted series is on the way, but it won't join One Chicago and Law & Order on NBC or the FBIs on CBS. The new project, called On Call, will be Wolf Entertainment's very first streaming series, and that's not the only thing that makes it fundamentally different from its fellow shows under the production company's banner. On Call will be a half-hour scripted drama coming to Prime Video.

Just when it may have seemed that Wolf Entertainment had explored just about every corner of crime-fighting scripted television, something new is on the way: stories told over 30 minutes. Sure, episodes of One Chicago and the Law & Orders only run for a little over 40 minutes without commercial breaks, but there's undoubtedly a big difference between telling a full story over the course of a half-hour vs. the more conventional length for a TV drama. While On Call may be Wolf Entertainment's first streaming series, I would say that the half-hour format is the most notable difference from the other shows!
