Dick Wolf specialises in crime dramas and was the creator of the highly successful US series Law & Order.
The deal was brokered by UKTV's Acquisitions and Co-Productions Manager, Emma Sparks and Endemol Worldwide Distribution's Sales Director UK & Eire, Gisela Asimus-Minnbergh. Series one will premiere on Really in March this year.
Cathy Payne, Chief Executive of Endemol Worldwide Distribution says
