Die potentielle Spinoff Serie wird wie auch bei The Vampire Diaries mit einer "Backdoor"-Episode beginnen und sich auf das Polizeirevier in Chicago konzentrieren.
The network
is prepping a potential spinoff of Wolf's sturdy freshman drama Chicago
Fire, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
The Taylor
Kinney starrer about a team of Chicago firefighters and paramedics has been
a solid performer on Wednesdays for the network this season. Since its
modest bow in the fall, the series of late has been besting ABC's Connie
Britton critical darling Nashville in its Wednesdays at 10 p.m. slot
in the advertiser-coveted adults 18-49 demographic. On Feb. 27 it also scored
another major ratings hurdle when it outrated CBS' long-running procedural CSI:
Crime Scene Investigation as well.
The
potential spinoff would likely air as a back-door pilot this season, should the
Wolf-produced series deliver a fitting episode that centers on the Chicago
police department. Chicago Fire creators and EPs Derek Haas and Michael
Brandt, EP Matt Olmstead and Wolf would oversee the Universal
Television and Wolf Films project, which could see some of the first-year
drama's cast transfer as well.
The
potential Chicago Fire spinoff becomes the latest back-door pilot this
season, joining The Vampire Diaries' The Originals, which airs in
April; and CBS' NCIS: LA entry, NCIS: Red, which aired this
month.
For his
part, Wolf is no stranger to spinoffs. The Law & Order mastermind
successfully spun two series off the legal procedural in the long-running Law
& Order: SVU and Law & Order: CI. Additionally, Wolf is also
on board to executive produce a half-hour comedy pilot for NBC -- Girlfriend
in a Coma, which is currently testing actresses to replace Christina
Ricci in the Liz Brixius which co-stars Miranda Cosgrove.
