\n NBCUniversal is ensuring Dick Wolf remains in its stable for a long time.<\/p>\n

\n The procedural king, fresh off multiple-series<\/a> renewals for his Law & Order <\/em>and Chicago <\/em>franchises, has signed a two-year overall deal extension with Universal Television.<\/p>\n

\n The new deal means Wolf will remain with Universal TV until 2027. His previous pact, which was signed pre-pandemic in 2020 and came with three-season renewals for his slate of shows, was a five-year pact that a source at the time described as being the \u201clargest deal in TV history.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n \u201cUniversal Television has been my home for almost 40 years. It has been, and continues to be, one of the most successful partnerships in television, and I am thrilled that we are keeping the trains running another four years,\u201d Wolf said in a statement that downplayed the previous five-year agreement as a three-year pact.<\/p>\n

\n Wolf currently has three franchises make up nine script<\/a>ed series on the air across two broadcast networks: NBC\u2019s Chicago Fire, Chicago PD <\/em>and Chicago Med<\/em>; NBC\u2019s Law & Order <\/em>revival, Law & Order: SVU <\/em>and Law & Order: Organized Crime<\/em>; as well as CBS\u2019 FBI, FBI: Most Wanted <\/em>and FBI: International. <\/em>All nine have already been renewed for the 2023-24 season. He also is behind Freevee\u2019s upcoming half-hour drama On Call<\/em> and is adapting his serialized podcast Dark Woods <\/em>as a series for Universal TV. (A platform for the latter has not yet been identified.)<\/p>\n

\n \u201cWhether in the comfort of their home or on the treadmill at the gym, it\u2019s a safe bet that almost every adult in the United States has viewed at least one episode of a Dick Wolf show at some point in their life. Dick is a cultural institution who has produced over 2,000 hours of television, and we are elated that he will continue to make Universal Television his home,\u201d said Pearlena Igbokwe, chairman of Universal Studio Group, of which Universal TV is a division. \u201cWith 10 scripted shows presenting across multiple platforms and a new pipeline of unscripted series, Dick\u2019s vision, creativity and love for television continue to be boundless, and we are proud to be his partners.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n On the unscripted side, Wolf is behind CNBC\/Oxygen\u2019s Blood & Money <\/em>and NBC\u2019s upcoming L.A. Fire & Rescue. <\/em>The latter debuts in June.<\/p>\n

\n Wolf\u2019s deal takes him on a parallel track as another of television\u2019s most prolific producers, Greg Berlanti. Berlanti in January signed a new pact with his long-time home at Warner Bros. Television Group that sees him serve as a mini-studio at the company through 2027.<\/p>\n

\n This is the latest rich deal that Wolf has signed with NBCUniversal. In early 2020, before his overall deal, the prolific producer set a rich six-show streaming deal with Peacock that gave the NBCUniversal platform rights to more than a thousand episodes across six of Wolf\u2019s shows: the flagship Law & Order <\/em>and spinoff Criminal Intent<\/em>, the entire run of SVU<\/em> and all three Chicago <\/em>series. Together, the streaming and overall deal were estimated to have been worth north of $1 billion at the time.<\/p>\n

\n Wolf is repped by WME and Ziffren Brittenham.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
