Eight of Wolf Entertainment/Universal Television writers rooms are opening this week following the end of the writers strike. Additionally, two new showrunners have been named: “Chicago Fire” Season 12 will be run by Andrea Newman, formerly co-showrunner with Derek Haas; and “FBI: International” Season 3 will be run by executive producer Matt Olmstead.
Haas, who co-created “Chicago Fire,” was the previous showrunner of “FBI: International” as well. He exited Wolf Entertainment last November after 10 years.
While Season 3 of “Law & Order: Organized Crime” was first run by Sean Jablonski then later “SVU” showrunner David Graziano, the team is searching for a new Season 4 showrunner. This will be the show’s sixth showrunner, as Barry O’Brien, Bryan Goluboff and Ilene Chaiken previously held the title. The spinoff has not yet set a date to return to the writers room.
Rick Eid will return as showrunner for “Law & Order,” while Graziano will return to “Law & Order: SVU;”
“Chicago PD” will be run by Gwen Sigan and “Chicago Med” will be run by Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider; “FBI” showrunner is Rick Eid while David Hudgens heads up “FBI: Most Wanted.”
The three “Law & Order” series and three “One Chicago” series are produced by Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television; the three “FBI” shows are produced by Wolf Entertainment, Universal Television and CBS studios.
“On Call,” produced by Wolf Entertainment, Universal Television and Amazon Studios, shut down is expected to return filming after the SAG-AFTRA strike.
