Dick Wolf, one of television’s most successful producers, is the creator and executive producer of the LAW & ORDER brand, including the medium’s two longest-running dramas: NBC’s LAW & ORDER: SVU (27 seasons) and LAW & ORDER (25 seasons). A two-time Emmy winner for LAW & ORDER and HBO’s BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE, Wolf has earned 13 nominations, won a Grammy for the Doors documentary WHEN YOU'RE STRANGE, and produced the Oscar-winning short TWIN TOWERS.
Wolf Entertainment’s current slate also includes LAW & ORDER: ORGANIZED CRIME (new to NBC fall 2025 after an initial run on Peacock); NBC’s CHICAGO FIRE (season 14), CHICAGO PD (season 13), and CHICAGO MED (season 11); CBS’s FBI (season 8) and the upcoming CIA (2026).

Non-scripted series include Oxygen’s COLD JUSTICE, the upcoming DEATH INVESTIGATOR WITH BARBARA BUTCHER and DEATH ROW CONFIDENTIAL: SECRETS OF A SERIAL KILLER (with Vanity Fair), NETFLIX'S HOMICIDE NY and LA, and A&E’s NIGHTWATCH. Under the aegis of Elliot Wolf, the company also produces podcasts (HUNTED, DARK WOODS, AFTERMATH: HUNT FOR THE ANTHRAX KILLER) and recently launched Wolf Games to engage true crime fans.

His other endowments include the Wolf Theater at the Television Academy; MOXI, the Wolf Museum of Exploration + Innovation; the Wolf Humanities Center at Penn; USC’s Dick Wolf School of Drama; an eight-figure lead gift to Mount Desert Island Hospital and a promised gift of more than 200 Renaissance and Baroque works to New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.
