According to The Hollywood Reporter, "the prolific producer and executives at Comcast, his home of nearly three decades, are in early discussions for a mass licensing deal that, if Wolf has his way, could include the complete catalog of Law & Order and spinoffs SVU and Criminal Intent; his three Chicago shows; potentially CBS' FBI as well as New York Undercover; and unscripted shows like Cold Justice. That's 72 seasons and 1,568 total hours of content — plus a possible green light for the updated New York Undercover, which is drawing interest after ABC's pass in May. Factor in unscripted and those rare one-and-done Law & Order spinoffs, and there's another 150 episodes of crime-focused programming ready to be streamed." Among the potential bidders are NBC Universal's Peacock and WarnerMedia's HBO Max, but don't expect Dick Wolf's content to end up on a one-stop "World of Wolf" streaming hub.
