EXCLUSIVE: Dick Wolf-exec produced drama series On Call is the latest series to shut down its production. The series, which is Wolf’s first scripted streaming series for Amazon Prime Video, was shooting down in Long Beach, California but has now suspended for the day, Universal Television confirmed.
It marks the first major Amazon series to suspend production due to the writers strike. Troian Bellisario (Pretty Little Liars) and Brandon Larracuente (The Good Doctor) star in the half-hour drama, which was originally set up at Amazon Freevee before moving to Prime Video.
The half-hour drama comes from Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television. It landed an eight-episode order. Co-created by Tim Walsh and Elliot Wolf, the series follows Traci Harmon, a veteran female training officer (Belisario) and her rookie male ride-along, Alex Diaz (Larracuente), as they navigate the loss of a fellow officer and politics of modern day policing — in the department and on the streets of Long Beach.
Belisario’s Traci Harmon is a veteran officer who’s disillusioned with the job and struggles to find her place in the department while training the next generation of officers.
