Dick Wolf may be one of the most prolific creators of popular television in history, but his latest series is going to go down as a one-and-done. "On Call," an inventive cop show that premiered earlier this year on Amazon Prime Video, was canceled after just one season. The adventures of Traci Harmon and Alex Diaz are, in all likelihood, over -- at least for now.
The series follows a rookie officer named Alex Diaz (Brandon Larracuente) who is paired with a seasoned veteran named Traci Harmon (Troian Bellisario), focusing on the duo as they patrol Long Beach, California. Part of what made the show unique is that it was shot with a mixture of hand-held cameras, bodycam, and dash-cam footage, which gave it a very unique look. In the early going, "On Call" was a hit, topping the Prime Video charts shortly after its debut.

As it often happens in the Dick Wolf universe, as one Wolf Entertainment series comes to an end, talent from it gets transferred to another one. The latest example is On Call star Brandon Larracuente who has joined Chicago Fire as a series regular on its upcoming 14th season for NBC. He will play a key member of Firehouse 51.
Larracuente has come on board Chicago Fire after On Call was canceled by Prime Video in early May following failed renewal negotiations with Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television that at one point involved a possible two-season pickup.
As Deadline reported exclusively at the time, the half-hour action police drama, starring Troian Bellisario and Larracuente, was shopped to other platforms, garnering interest from two places. These conversations did not lead to a deal and, a month and a half later, On Call is over for now. Efforts to land a Season 2 pickup continue in the background,...

Following the cancellation of the Dick Wolf-produced half-hour procedural On Call, one of its stars, Brandon Larracuente, is moving on — to another Dick Wolf show. Variety reports that Larracuente has been cast in the upcoming fourteenth season of Chicago Fire, set to premiere this fall on NBC. He joins the long-running procedural in an undisclosed role, but it's being reported that the character will have a significant arc. Larracuente starred alongside Troian Bellisario in On Call as a rookie, but the show was cancelled after the first season.
Larracuente's addition to Chicago Fire does not bode well for On Call. The show had a complicated relationship with Prime Video because even after an initial two-season deal, the streamer opted to pass on the second season. However, they agreed to relinquish the show's rights if it was to find a new home. Peacock was considered a potential new home, according to the latest news.

The cast of Pretty Little Liars has agreed that they would be open to the idea of reviving the show, but it would require a different direction. A combination of I Know What You Did Last Summer meets Gossip Girl made Pretty Little Liars an unexpected hit for ABC's cable channel Freeform. The show ran seven seasons, and saw a raft of character arcs, plot twists surrounding the identities of Pretty Little Liars' vengeful antagonist 'A', romances, and unexpected deaths. The show was well received by critics and developed a cult following globally.
Speaking to THR, for a retrospective of the show turning 15, cast members Troian Bellisario, Ashley Benson, Tyler Blackburn, Shay Mitchell, Sasha Pieterse, and Ian Harding revealed they would be open to a revival as long as one condition is met.

On the eve of Pretty Little Liars’ 15-year anniversary, the five original “Liars” and series creator I. Marlene King have gone on record saying they are ready to return to Rosewood—if the format is right. “It would need to be a film because I don’t think it could sustain another season,” Troian Bellisario told The Hollywood Reporter, comments later amplified by E! Online. King echoed the idea, saying she’s “game” for “a movie or limited 10 episodes” so long as she can craft “a good idea to bring everybody back.”
Castmates Lucy Hale, Shay Mitchell, Ashley Benson and Sasha Pieterse each laid down their own conditions—Mitchell “can’t do it without my girls,” Benson jokingly wants Hanna to be the new “A,” while Pieterse is simply “always open” to a reunion. Hale, who reunites with co-star Tyler Blackburn whenever schedules allow, recently told fans she would join a project “in a heartbeat.

Pretty Little Liars was a very popular TV teen drama, filled with mysteries, lies, and murders. The series followed a group of four teenagers stalked and harassed by a mysterious figure known as A.
Throughout Pretty Little Liars' seven-season run, three characters become A. However, in the end, it was revealed that the final A was Spencer's British twin sister, Alex Drake. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter during a cast reunion interview to celebrate Pretty Little Liars' 15th anniversary, Troian Bellisario, who played both characters, weighed in on the final reveal and her relief that it wasn't Spencer.
The Liars were always viciously attacked, their secrets spilled, and threatened by A. However, almost all of the main actresses wanted or fear to be the real A. Bellisario admitted she was "very grateful that Spencer" wasn't the ultimate villain.
I think we could have trusted our audience more with the information.

“I’m still here bitches, and I know everything –A,” read an anonymous text to four best friends 15 years ago.
During the summer of 2010 in the fictional town of Rosewood, Pennsylvania, Pretty Little Liars, which was based on the book series by author Sara Shepard, premiered on ABC Family (now Freeform), sent social media into a frenzy and has remained a highly talked-about show in pop culture. The mystery drama centered around the self-titled Pretty Little Liars — Aria Montgomery (Lucy Hale), Spencer Hastings (Troian Bellisario), Hanna Marin (Ashley Benson) and Emily Fields (Shay Mitchell) — who reunited due to the ominous texts after having drifted apart for a year when their best friend, Alison Dilaurentis (Sasha Pieterse), went missing.

For many, the early 2010s were peak TV. They didn't offer the best quality shows, the way modern Emmy-winning shows like Succession, The Bear, or The Handmaid's Talehave made an impact, but they gathered loyal followers and became cult classics for many.
Pretty Little Liars was one of them. The show didn't earn any major awards, although it received great reviews, and, even eight years later, its legacy is undeniable. Lead star Lucy Hale took to Instagram to celebrate a major milestone: Pretty Little Liars' 15th anniversary, highlighting that people are still discovering the show.

Since his time on ER, Eriq La Salle has focused on directing for most of the past two decades, becoming a staple in the Dick Wolf universe. He's worked on Law & Order: Svu, Law & Order, Law & Order: Organized Crime, Chicago P.D. (including serving as an executive producer for five years), Chicago Med, and FBI. So it was no surprise when he got the call for the prolific producer's new drama On Call.
"They just called up and said, 'Hey, we've got this cool pilot, we'd love you to do it,'" La Salle tells Gold Derby. "I took a look at it and read it in, I don't know, like, 29 minutes, and said 'yes' in 30 minutes. It was just pretty much a no-brainer."
Signing on in 30 minutes is apt since On Call is Wolf's first half-hour series. The Prime Video police drama follows veteran officer Traci Harmon (Troian Bellisario...

In On Call, Troian Bellisario plays Tracy Harmon, a veteran field training officer in the Long Beach Police Department, navigating the mental and physical toll of her job while mentoring rookie officer Alex Diaz (Brandon Larracuente). The role marks a striking shift from her Pretty Little Liars days, and Bellisario admits she was surprised when first approached to play a police officer.
“Tracy Harmon, veteran police officer, 40 years old. I thought, ‘Oh my god, I’m never going to get this,’” she admits. “I’ve never played anyone older than me, and certainly never a cop.” But something in the script clicked. “The minute I started reading her words, I was enthralled. I’d never seen a cop show like this.”
Unlike traditional procedurals, Prime Video's On Call leans heavily into body cam footage and a half-hour drama format, a fusion Bellisario calls “thrilling” and “raw.” The real-time style gives the show a documentary edge,...

Dick Wolf is a very busy man, and has found so much success creating two well-known and franchises at NBC - Law and Order and One Chicago. The creator has got the procedural formula down, so many had high hopes for his new one on Prime Video. Unfortunately, On Call season 2 is not happening as Prime Video has cancelled the show, and the series has become a short-lived one. On the platform at least.
The Troian Bellisario-led serial drama first premiered Jan. 9, 2025 with eight episodes on the streaming service. So Prime Video waited about four months to announce the fate of the show. That's actually not too bad, as other projects have to wait longer sometimes. Upon its release, On Call, created by Tim Walsh and Elliot Wolf, got mixed reviews from critics but did well with the audience overall.
Many viewers may have come into it not having watched other Dick Wolf shows.

On Call will not be returning for a second season on Prime Video. According to Deadline, the streaming service has canceled that police drama after one season of eight episodes.

Dick Wolf's first streaming procedural, On Call, is not returning for Season 2 on Prime Video. Deadline reports that the show, starring Troian Bellisario and Brandon Larracuente, has been canceled at the global streamer after Prime Video passed on another season. However, there is some good news for fans of the half-hour police drama. Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television are engaged in talks for a second season on another platform. The cancellation is a surprising development, but not entirely unforeseen given the significant time-lapse between Season 1's debut date and news of renewal or cancellation.
It is being reported that Prime Video was considering a two-season renewal, but the deal came with strings attached. They wanted the two production companies to reduce the series' premium, but that was a non-starter for them, and the two-season deal fell apart. TV economics are changing, and sometimes what worked before no longer does.

Cancelations seem to be the name of the game right now, as hot on the heels of CBS’ decimation of its crime series slate, and NBC’s huge ax swing, Amazon is now in a chopping mood and has decided not to give a renewal to the half-hour action crime drama On Call. This means the series joins a long list of one-season wonders, despite coming from Dick Wolf’s Wolf Entertainment and having a great reaction from audiences.
The decision not to pick up On Call for a second season came as a surprise to many, especially considering that, despite getting a mixed reaction from critics, the series scored an impressive 92% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. However, it seems that this may not be end for the show, as Deadline reported that the team behind the show are already looking for a new home, with Peacock being among a handful of streamers being courted.

Emily Alyn Lind plays the lead, Cadence Sinclair, in Prime Video’s new series, We Were Liars. The series is based on E. Lockhart’s 2014 novel of the same name, which received critical acclaim. The teaser trailer of the show just dropped, and from the way it is presented, fans couldn’t help but immediately think of Freeform’s thriller series Pretty Little Liars.
At the beginning, it appears that we are in for a summer vacation show until the mood quickly changes into something much darker. Julie Plec of The Vampire Diaries fame and Carina Adly MacKenzie of The Originals fame serve as the co-showrunners of the show.

The series, starring Troian Bellisario and Brandon Larracuente, has been shopped to other platforms, and two of them have engaged in discussions about a potential second season, I hear.
This is a somewhat surprising development as On Call, created by Tim Walsh and Elliot Wolf, has done well, reaching the #1 slot on Prime Video in the U.S. following the January 9 drop of all eight episodes and earning 92% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Nearly two months after its Prime Video premiere, On Call remains in the streamer's daily Top 10 ranking. The police drama series hails from executive producer Dick Wolf, a master of the procedural drama genre.
According to FlixPatrol, On Call has been hovering around the No. 5 and No. 6 spots in Prime Video's Top 10 this week. This marks a bit of a drop for the police drama, which spent the first week in the No. 1 spot on the streamer's TV Top 10. This achievement led to YouTuber Mr. Beast's reality competition series Beast Games finally being bumped out of the top spot. FlixPatrol is also reporting that On Call has been in Prime Video's Top 10 for 55 days this year, meaning that the show has only spent a couple of days off of the list.

Chris Pine is planning to go Nowhere Fast with Fargo creator Noah Hawley. The movie star and FX's favorite television creator are teaming up for the latter's new crime thriller, a film about a small-town criminal in Texas who unwittingly kills the nephew of his boss. The movie is currently titled Nowhere Fast— as you may have guessed from the first line of this story — and sounds like exactly the sort of dark comedy of errors we've come to love and expect from Noah Hawley.
In a new, exclusive report from Variety, it was revealed that Pine would star in the film slated to be written and directed by Hawley, who is perhaps most well known for his work on Fargo, but also created the criminally under-appreciated Legion, as well as Hulu's forthcoming Alien franchise series, Alien: Earth.

Troian Bellisario has made her mark in a number of projects across several genres. Her TV career before "On Call" includes notable guest turns in shows like "NCIS" and "Suits," as well as the title she's best known for: Freeform's teen drama series "Pretty Little Liars," where she starred as central character Spencer Hasting throughout the show's duration -- and eventually also got to portray the villainous Alex Drake, Spencer's twin sister.
Meanwhile, Bellisario's movie résumé ranges from artsy drama and comedy to science fiction and outright horror. In 2015, she notably starred in the remake of Pascal Laugier's "Martyrs" (2008), one of the best (and most gruesome scary) horror movies ever filmed. While the U.S. version didn't quite reach the blood-spattered heights of the French original, Bellisario's own visibility has only continued to increase since that film ... and with her newest success story on Amazon Prime Video, her...

While Suits is based on legal concepts, it doesn’t always stick to the real legal procedures. In fact, it sometimes stretches the truth and bends the rules to keep the story exciting and unpredictable.

Shows about police officers have been around for decades. The conflict and dangerous situations that come with the profession are evidently fertile ground for on-screen drama. Since 2000, a number of cop shows have come and gone, some of which put unique spins on the classic procedural formula. Justified takes the police thriller and mixes it with the Western, Fargo adds comedy, and Hannibal adds horror.
Sometimes, though, audiences are just looking for a more typical show about cops. Recent shows like We Own This City and Mare of Easttown delivered on this front, as has True Detective, The Shield, S.W.A.T., and The Rookie. There's one cop thriller show, however, that has just recently released on Prime Video, and it's quickly established itself as a win with audiences for its grounded storytelling and compelling character drama.
Mare of Easttown season 2 is not yet confirmed, but it has been reported to be a possibility.
