The show will also feature Trion Bellisario from Pretty Little Liars and Brandon Larracunte of ABC's The Good Doctor. This was originally slated for Amazon Freevee, but is now headed for the main Amazon streaming platform.
The synopsis for the series reads as follows:
On Call is an adrenalized half-hour series following 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.
Dick Wolf, known for his Law and Order series of shows, commented on the upcoming series in an interview with Deadline in 2021.
“Everything old is new again. In 1958 there were 40 half-hour dramas and five one-hour dramas on television. Five years later, the numbers were basically reversed,” Dick Wolf said about doing On Call as a half-hour drama series back in 2021. “This is the perfect time to revive the half-hour format. It’s television popcorn. You can watch six episodes during a three-hour binge.”
Danny Limelight previously commented on his AEW departure during an interview with Fightful's Grapsody podcast. Fans can read his full comments here.
