Dick Wolf’s next two shows will stream on Netflix.

The megaproducer behind the Law & Order, FBI and Chicago franchises will executive produce a pair of true-crime documentary series — titled Homicide: New York and Homicide: Los Angeles — that will detail several notorious murder cases in the two cities. Notably, the two shows are being made outside of Wolf Entertainment’s long-time home at NBCUniversal; Wolf is teaming with Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz’s Alfred Street Industries.

Wolf and his company remain under an overall deal at NBCU, which runs through 2027.

Homicide: New York, which premieres March 20, will “bring to life five of New York’s most notorious murder cases by following the detectives and prosecutors that cracked them,” according to the show’s logline. A trailer for the series (watch it below) showcases interviews with the law enforcement officials involved in several cases as well as some re-enactment scenes. Homicide: Los Angeles is set to premiere later this year.

Wolf Entertainment has produced a number of unscripted series, including Oxygen’s Cold Justice, A&E’s Nightwatch and NBC’s L.A. Fire and Rescue. All of those come from Universal Television, where Wolf is based.

Cutforth and Lipsitz are best known as the producing team behind Project Runway and Top Chef. They formed Alfred Street Industries in 2019.

Homicide: New York and Homicide: Los Angeles are executive produced by Wolf, Wolf Entertainment’s unscripted head Tom Thayer, Lipsitz, Cutforth, Nan Strait, Dan Volpe and Adam Kassen.
