Wolf Entertainment is a television production company based in the United States, established by producer Dick Wolf in 1988. It is widely recognized for its successful franchises such as Law & Order, Chicago, and FBI.
In February 2020, Wolf Entertainment finalized one of the most substantial agreements in television history—a multi-million-dollar deal covering both broadcast and streaming platforms—renewing its collaboration with Universal Television for an additional five years.
Initially launched as Wolf Films, the company underwent a rebranding in 2019 to become Wolf Entertainment. Over its history, it has developed more than 40 television series and produced upwards of 2,500 episodes for network television, receiving 96 Emmy nominations along the way.
