Dick Wolf, the creator behind some of NBC’s most famous TV franchises including “Law & Order” and “Chicago,” explained how his new series, “FBI” ended up at CBS.
“There was no more beachfront real estate at NBC,” Wolf said during the show’s Television Critics Association session on Sunday. “[NBC Entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt] agreed, and basically we came up with a formula where I think it will be a profitable venture for both studios.”
The series is a co-production between Universal Television and CBS Television Studios.
Since being ordered straight-to-series by CBS last year, “FBI” has undergone changes both in front of and behind the camera.
