FBI: International Names New Showrunner Amid Dick Wolf Series Leadership Changes — Get the Latest on Law & Order: SVU, OC and More

FBI: International has promoted executive producer Matt Olmstead to the position of showrunner for the series’ upcoming Season 3, TVLine has learned.

The staffing change comes as Dick Wolf’s multiple primetime dramas on CBS and NBC shore up leadership for the TV season ahead and re-open their writers rooms following the Writers Guild of America strike.

Olmstead is a known entity at Wolf Entertainment; he previously served as showrunner on NBC’s Chicago Fire and co-created Chicago P.D.

At NBC’s Chicago Fire, former co-showrunner Andrea Newman will hold the post solo for Season 12. Her former co-showrunner, Derek Haas, exited the show in November 2022. He also preceded Olmstead as FBI: International‘s boss.

Over in the Law & Orderverse, the Chris Meloni-led Organized Crime still has not replaced Sean Jablonski, who left as showrunner in March and who was the fourth showrunner to oversee the procedural in a year. SVU head David Graziano stepped in to help with Season 3’s final episodes; a new show boss will be determined for the spinoff’s shortened Season 4.

Meanwhile, Graziano will return to lead SVU nearly a year after a Los Angeles Times report that alleged he engaged in unprofessional and bullying behavior on the set of his previous series, Coyote. In a statement at the time, Graziano said: “Though it would be easy and convenient, I refuse to blame some past behavior on the abuse I suffered and learned as a child at the hands of a Catholic priest as well as my own mother. For anyone who has worked as a showrunner or in a writers’ room, you must draw on and use your own experience. Particularly for a show like Law & Order: SVU, I regrettably have a lot to draw from and with it brings a great deal of emotion. All any of us can do is evolve and grow. Real change is hard, and I continue to work on myself.”

Leadership at Wolf Entertainment’s other series remains as it was last season. Rick Eid will run Law & Order Season 23 and FBI Season 6, Gwen Sigan will run Chicago P.D. Season 11, Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider will run Chicago Med Season 9, and David Hudgins will run FBI: Most Wanted Season 5. In addition, Tim Walsh will head up Season 1 of Prime Video’s On Call.
