We have some good news if you've been holding out for updates on Dick Wolf's three franchises that have been off screens for months.
Franchises like Law & Order, FBI, and One Chicago are all closing in on returns.
Writers for the Dick Wolf shows are returning to work following the end of the WGA strike.
According to The Wrap, many shows will have leadership changes.
Andrea Newman is the sole showrunner for Chicago Fire Season 12 after it was announced earlier this year that Derek Haas had stepped back.
Over in the FBI universe, FBI: International Season 3 has announced Matt Olmstead will move from executive producer to showrunner.
Law & Order: Organized Crime is still searching for a new showrunner, so we should have an update on that in due course.

It’s good news for fans of the various Dick Wolf TV franchises as Law & Order, FBI, and Chicago Fire are all nearing returns following the end of the Writers Guild of America strike. On Wednesday, October 4, Wolf Entertainment announced that writers have returned to work on the above-mentioned shows. This comes after the WGA strike ended on September 24 after 148 days, with the guild coming to a deal with the AMPTP over streaming residuals, protections against AI, and other issues. According to The Wrap, there have also been some showrunner changes across the Wolf shows. Andrea Newman will now helm Chicago Fire alone, having previously run the show alongside Derek Haas. Meanwhile, FBI: International has promoted Matt Olmstead from executive producer to showrunner for Season 3. Exactly how the changes will impact on what viewers see at home is yet to be determined. None of the shows will likely be...

Writers have returned to work on the Dick Wolf-produced TV franchises “Law & Order,” “FBI” and “Chicago Fire,” Wolf Entertainment announced on Wednesday.
The WGA strike, which had lasted 148 days, ended on Sept. 24 after the guild came to a deal with the AMPTP regarding streaming residuals, AI protections and other key issues.
Meanwhile, showrunners have been shuffled across the Dick Wolf universe: “Chicago Fire” goes into Season 12 on NBC with lone showrunner Andrea Newman, who formerly ran the show along with Derek Haas. CBS’ “FBI International” has promoted Matt Olmstead from executive producer to showrunner for Season 3.
The Christopher Meloni-led “Law & Order: Organized Crime” has not yet named a new showrunner after the exit of Sean Jablonski in March. David Graziano, who returns as “Svu” showrunner for Season 25 of the Mariska Hargitay-starring series, had stepped in to oversee the final three episodes of the “Oc” Season 3.

Spoiler Alert: The following story reveals major plot points from the Season 10 finale of NBC’s Chicago Fire.
The day of the long-awaited Stellaride wedding has finally arrived on NBC’s Chicago Fire and not even Matt Casey (Jesse Spencer) was willing to miss it. Casey, after all, committed to standing beside his best friend Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney) on his big day.
As series executive producer Derek Haas teased in the lead-up to the Season 10 finale, the bride and groom faced a complicated emergency just hours before their nuptials.
With a fiery inferno about to enter an apartment where a pregnant woman was seriously injured and in labor, 51 was all hands on deck—minus a cowardly Emma Jacobs (Caitlin Carver) who abandoned her partner and ended up getting fired over it. It’s pretty hilarious how Emma thought she would steal Violet’s (Hanako Greensmith) job yet she literally...

Jesse Spencer is back on NBC‘s Chicago Fire alongside Taylor Kinney for the highly anticipated Season 10 finale titled “The Magnificent City of Chicago,” airing May 25. Spencer exited the series in October after a decade on the firefighter drama.
Spencer is wearing a blue suit as his character Matt Casey is standing in as his best friend Kelly Severide (Kinney) is set to marry Stella Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo).
“The juicy details are that we went to him and said, ‘You’re so loved on this show. And with the Severide wedding coming up, there’s no way Casey would miss seeing his best friend getting married. Come on, man!’ So, he graciously agreed to come back for the finale,” executive producer Derek Haas recently told Deadline of how he convinced Spencer to return.

Class, masculine competition, buried pasts and father-daughter dynamics make up a luridly dark arrangement in the three-part UK miniseries "Bouquet of Barbed Wire," the first episode of which airs on Ovation this Saturday, July 21 at 10m Et/7pm Pt. The second TV adaptation of the 1969 novel of the same name by Andrea Newman -- the first, which ran in 1976, was considered notoriously risque -- this "Bouquet of Barbed Wire" startles more with its characterization than any content. The Ashley Pearce-directed show is a warped, Freudian hallucination about baby's first boyfriend in which Prue (Imogen Poots), the adored 17-year-old only child of well-to-do parents Peter (Trevor Eve) and Cassie Manson (Hermione Norris), brings home exactly the wrong boyfriend her dad would want paired with his coddled offspring. Then again, it's possible that no one could meet Peter's standards for his daughter -- the series introduces the...

Actor known for his roles in Lord of the Flies and TV's Bouquet of Barbed Wire
It must be galling for an actor who has a reasonable track record of films, stage and television, stretching over decades, to be remembered mainly for a role he played right at the beginning of his career. It hints, often unfairly, that everything was downhill thereafter. A case in point was James Aubrey, who was 14 when he played Ralph, one of the principal characters in Peter Brook's film of Lord of the Flies (1963), a part for which he was highly praised.
Aubrey, who has died of cancer aged 62, was one of 30 British schoolboys chosen by Brook out of 3,000 candidates. In attempting to duplicate the conditions depicted in William Golding's novel about children on a desert island who have survived a plane crash, Brook transported his young cast to the island of Vieques,...
