Universal TV’s Erin Underhill On Studio Procedurals’ Strong Return, Renewal Status On Wolf Dramas & ‘The Equalizer’, Future Of ‘Quantum Leap’ & More
Universal Television President Erin Underhill talks with Deadline about the strong return of studio procedurals, renewal status of Wolf dramas and more.
In an interview with Deadline, Universal Television President Erin Underhill spoke of the uncertainty — and anxiety — within the industry about how scripted series would perform after the strike-related delay and gave her assessment as to why the procedurals did so well in their return. And the fact that we have nine Wolf shows, and that those grew their audiences by double-digit percentages from where they left off is truly a feat in a time where we’re coming on the heels of a strike and we had to really scramble and get the scripts written, the episodes prepped, shot, edited and on the air. First and foremost, television is about characters, and I think the Wolf team does a good job of balancing, bringing in fresh faces but also knowing that they want to serve the core fan base with the series regulars that don’t leave after a season or two and trying to create some consistency.
