Looking at the whole Wolf Universe of TV, one aspect of the justice system is untouched — cops on the beat, doing the hardest work to bring down the bad guys.
They’re the officers who take chances with unknown suspects, chasing them down and asking tough questions.
With Prime Video’s On Call, those beat cops will get their just reward.
Today, Prime Video released the official trailer and key art for On Call, a gripping new half-hour drama series from Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television.
Co-created by Tim Walsh and Elliot Wolf, On Call is Wolf Entertainment’s first scripted streaming series and will premiere with all eight episodes on January 9, 2025, exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
On Call is an adrenalized and visceral police drama that follows a rookie and veteran officer duo as they go on patrol in Long Beach, California.
The innovative series incorporates a mixture of bodycam, dash camera, and cellphone footage to create a cinema verité effect.
It explores the morality of protecting and serving a community.
The series stars Troian Bellisario (Pretty Little Liars) as Officer Traci Harmon, a seasoned twelve-year veteran and training officer with a strong moral compass that has defined her approach to policing, even if that puts her at odds with new law enforcement policies.
Brandon Larracuente (The Good Doctor) stars as Alex Diaz, an ambitious rookie who struggles to maintain his optimistic outlook as he realizes the challenges he’ll face in today’s climate.
We’ve seen all eight episodes, and its storytelling is fresh and propulsive.
You’ll be reminded of many other shows, including On Patrol: Live, The Rookie, and Southland, but there is little room for fluff here, and On Call emerges as something entirely unexpected.
Take a look at the official trailer now:
The cast also includes the following heavy hitters:
The additional cast includes Eriq La Salle (ER, Logan) as Sergeant Lasman, who also serves as an executive producer on the series and directed multiple episodes.
Lori Loughlin (Fuller House) as Lieutenant Bishop.
Rich Ting as Sergeant Koyama (Tulsa King).
Dick Wolf (Law & Order, Chicago, FBI-branded series), Tim Walsh (Chicago P.D., Hightown, Night Stalker), Elliot Wolf (Dark Woods, Hunted), Eriq LaSalle (former EP/Director Chicago P.D.), and Peter Jankowski are executive producers.
The series is produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studios Group and Amazon MGM Studios, in association with Wolf Entertainment.
What do you think? Take it from me; set aside the day to soak this one in. It’s worth it!
