For nearly five months of 2023, writers hit pause due to the WGA strike — but that doesn’t mean that a great deal of excellent television wasn’t made. With the Emmys pushed to January, Variety’s annual TV Producers Impact List was also pushed, this time recognizing the top 50(ish) scripted producers of the last year, who will be honored at a dinner in Los Angeles on Jan. 11.
We asked them about what shows their binging, who they most admire and what series they’re most looking forward to in 2024.

Jesse Armstrong

-
Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Nkechi Okoro Carroll, Sera Gamble
With nine shows last year, including “All American,” “All American: Homecoming,” “Superman & Lois,” “You” and “Found,” the production company led by Berlanti and Schechter continues to grow. The Berlanti family includes Okoro Carroll, who showruns both “All American” series and created “Found,” and Gamble, who developed, writes and produces “You.”
Producers you most admire?
Gamble: Two producers I’ve been behind closed doors with: Greg Berlanti, because I’ve watched him kindly solve issues that many a producer would be tempted to address via murder; and John McNamara, because I’ve watched him fight tirelessly for the people who work for him in ways they’ll never know.Last show you binged?
Berlanti: “The Crown”Most anticipated show of 2024?
Okoro Carroll: “The Diplomat” Season 2 -
Alice Birch

Quinta Brunson, Justin Halpern, Patrick Schumacker and Randall Einhorn
ABC’s breakout hit sitcom “Abbott Elementary” took home three Emmys in 2022 and landed eight more nominations for its second season. With Brunson as creator, writer and star, the series has continued to be the strongest broadcast comedy of the year. In addition to “Abbott,” Halpern and Schumacker continue to executive produce Max’s “Harley Quinn,” with its fourth season airing in 2023.
Producers you most admire?
Brunson and Einhorn: Norman Lear
Schumacker: Lucille Ball. You try making 30-plus episodes per season of a genius sitcom classic and also produce the original “Star Trek.” Undefeated.Last show you binged?
Halpern: Final season of “Better Call Saul.” I end up getting to everything about a year late but because I never engage in meaningful conversations with other humans nothing ever gets spoiled
for me.Most anticipated show of 2024?
Brunson and Einhorn: “Severance” -
Debora Cahn
Cahn’s first solo showrunning gig after years toiling on shows such as “Grey’s Anatomy” and “The West Wing” was a home run for Netflix. “The Diplomat” also earned Globes and Critics Choice nominations.
Last show you binged?
“Better Call Saul.” I was like 10 years late to the party. -
Greg Daniels
After writing for “Saturday Night Live,” adapting “The Office” for NBC and creating “Parks and Recreation” and “King of the Hill,” it’s no surprise that Daniels landed on this list with his latest series, “Upload.” He created the afterlife dramedy, currently in its third season, for Amazon Prime Video and serves as showrunner.
Most anticipated shows of 2024?
“St. Denis Medical,” “In the Know” and “3 Body Problem” -
Lee Eisenberg and Cody Heller
Amazon Freevee’s “Jury Duty,” co-created by Eisenberg with Heller as showrunner, is one of the biggest surprise hits of the past year: In maybe the most 2023 sentence of all time, the show took off after going viral on TikTok and landed four Emmy nominations. Eisenberg also created “Lessons in Chemistry” for Apple TV+, serving as an EP and writer.
Last show you binged?
Eisenberg: I’ve been tearing through a “Mad Men” rewatch; even better the second time around.
Heller: “Slow Horses” -
Bridget Everett, Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen
Created by Bos and Thureen, Max’s “Somebody Somewhere” — which was inspired by the life of star and exec producer Everett — returned for its touching second season and has already been renewed for a third. With compassionate yet hilarious takes, the series has been a breakout since
its debut.Most anticipated show of 2024?
Everett: “The Regime”Producer you admire most?
Thureen: Carolyn Strauss — brilliant, accomplished and kind.Last show you binged?
Bos: “Love Has Won: The Cult of Mother God” -
Nathan Fielder and Benny Safdie
Best friends Fielder and Safdie took their relationship to the next level when they created Paramount+’s satirical black comedy “The Curse,” which they also star in alongside Emma Stone. Fielder, who was named one of Time’s most influential people this year, also served as an executive producer on HBO’s “How to With John Wilson,” which aired its final season over the summer.
Producer you admire most?
Safdie: Jim Brooks just because he’s a visionary and he’s great. -
Mike Flanagan and Trevor Macy
Horror producer, writer and director Flanagan created his latest series, “The Fall of the House of Usher,” alongside his business partner, executive producer Macy. Produced under their Intrepid Pictures banner, the series is loosely based on the works of Edgar Allen Poe.
Last show you binged?
Flanagan: The last show I watched was “Gen V,” but I didn’t binge it — I think the binge model is a problem, and it really needs to go away.
Macy: Oddly the last show I watched was also “Gen V,” but I haven’t finished it yet. -
Akiva Goldsman
For decades, Goldsman has been making a statement with his work; after all, he wrote the screenplay for “A Beautiful Mind.” In 2023, he launched “The Crowded Room” on Apple TV+, executive producing the series, inspired by the 1981 novel “The Minds of Billy Milligan,” alongside star Tom Holland. Plus, he’s the co-creator “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds,” which just aired its second season.
Last show you binged?
“The Lazarus Project,” my favorite reality shifting show since “Devs.” -
Bill Hader, Alec Berg and Aida Rodgers
The minds behind “Barry” — Hader, Berg and Rodgers — all bring something different to the table, which may be why the HBO series wrapped up in such a unique series finale. For the first time, star and co-creator Hader directed all eight episodes. “Barry” amassed 55 Emmy nominations over its run, with 11 of those for its fourth and final season.
Last show you binged?
Hader: “The Murder Tapes”Producer you admire most?
Rodgers: I adore Sarah Esberg. She has the most amazing taste, and she is a fabulous human.Most anticipated show of 2024?
Hader: I don’t know. I just know I don’t want to be on “The Murder Tapes.” -
Jenny Han
After her “To All the Boys” YA books were turned into hit films, Han has taken a big swing on television, adapting her hit “The Summer I Turned Pretty” book series into an Amazon Prime Video series that viewers can’t get enough of. The second season dropped and became one of the Top 10 most-watched shows on the platform. Plus, she’s one of the few producers to feature multiple Taylor Swift hits in her show.
Last show you binged?
“Upload” -
Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi
One of the most beloved series without any Emmy awards, “Reservation Dogs” came to an end this year at FX after three seasons. Co-created by Harjo and Waititi, the touching, dramatic comedy series featured all Indigenous writers and directors — the first American television show to do so. As Harjo will continue to work with FX under his overall deal, Waititi also serves as an exec producer on Max’s “Our Flag Means Death.”
Last show you binged?
Harjo: “Fargo” Season 5Most anticipated show of 2024?
Harjo: “The British Bake-Off” -
Noah Hawley
Image Credit: CAROLYN FONG As the creator and writer of FX’s “Fargo,” Hawley has continued to rake in the awards attention — and deservedly so. The series, which has earned 55 nominations since its 2014 debut, launched its fifth installment with a new cast of A-list actors in front of the camera. While best-known for “Fargo,” Hawley will be a bit busy in 2024 with a different project — the “Alien” television series at FX.
Most anticipated show of 2024?
“True Detective” -
John Hoffman, Steve Martin and Dan Fogelman
Co-created by Hoffman and Martin and exec produced by Fogelman, Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building” had its biggest season yet with Paul Rudd and Meryl Streep joining the already incredible cast — which includes Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez. Since the strike created holes in the broadcast schedule, the Hulu hit is airing on broadcast for the first time this year.
Producers you admire most?
Hoffman: Deep tie between Normal Lear and James L. Brooks.Last show you binged?
Fogelman: My wife and I are back into “Happy Valley.” We’d devoured the first season but honestly didn’t know there were second and third seasons until recently and dove back in. Sarah Lancashire is off the charts, every moment of every episode. -
Rian Johnson, Ram Bergman, Natasha Lyonne
Although Peacock has struggled to make a splash overall, “Poker Face” did not. The new take on “Columbo,” created by Johnson, is produced by Bergman and Lyonne, the latter of whom leads the case-of-the-week series. “Poker Face” landed four Emmy noms.
Producers you admire most?
Lyonne: It’s hard in this moment not to immediately think of the beloved Norman Lear and for good reason — what a sweeping impact and beautiful human being. -
Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher
Fisher, who has an overall deal with Universal Television, served as “Never Have I Ever” showrunner alongside co-creator and executive producer Kaling. The fourth and final season remained on Netflix’s Top 10 chart for multiple weeks in 2023. Together, Fisher and Kaling focused on diversifying both the cast and crew.
Producer you admire most?
Kaling: Tyler Perry. His voice is clear, his work ethic is unmatched, and he is unbelievably generous.Most anticipated show of 2024?
Fisher: I really can’t wait for the second season of “Severance.” They ended on such a crazy cliffhanger. I’m eager to see how that world changes and evolves and what other weird places are in that building. Remember that room of baby goats? -
Eric Kripke and Michele Fazekas
“The Boys,” developed by Kripke, continues to be one of Amazon Prime Video’s top series, with its third season being viewed for more than 1 billion minutes. Kripke continues to expand the universe: the college-set spinoff “Gen V,” showrun by Fazekas, launched in 2023 and was almost immediately renewed for a second season.
Producer you admire most?
Kripke: Rod Serling by a mile. He basically invented the notion of using genre TV to explore difficult issues. He was vocally anti-war and anti-racist [in the 1950s] and on top of it all, his scripts were intimidatingly great.Last show you binged?
Fazekas: In the middle of binging “For All Mankind” after my writing staff raved about it so much — LOVE IT. -
Alex Kurtzman
The writer, director and exec producer is never working on just one project. In 2023, new seasons of Kurtzman co-creations “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” and “Star Trek: Picard” dropped while the next season of “Star Trek: Discovery” is set for 2024. During its final season, “Picard” managed to pull off an epic “Star Trek: The Next Generation” reunion.
Most anticipated show of 2024?
“The Brothers Sun.” Someone should build a museum to Michelle Yeoh. -
Bill Lawrence, Jason Sudeikis, Jason Segel and Brett Goldstein
Lawrence is easily one of the busiest men in the business — and surrounds himself with the same. In 2023, the (probably) final season of “Ted Lasso,” the Apple TV+ series, which he produces alongside co-creator and star Sudeikis, debuted and went on to receive 21 Emmy noms. Goldstein both wrote for the show and starred in it; during that process, he and Lawrence, along with Segel, came up with the idea for Apple TV+’s “Shrinking,” which perfectly blended themes of loss and hope
with comedy.Producers you admire most?
Goldstein: David Milch. Responsible for some amazing TV series but will always get my vote for “Deadwood,” a stone-cold masterpiece written with a voice like no other.Last show you binged?
Segel: “The Fall of the House of Usher” -
Shawn Levy
Before he hung out with Taylor Swift and got to work on “Deadpool 3,” and in between producing duties on “Stranger Things,” Levy exec produced and directed all four episodes of Netflix’s “All the Light We Cannot See,” a miniseries about two teenagers whose paths cross during World War II.
Most anticipated show of 2024?
“The Last of Us” second season. Is that coming out in 2024? Can we ask Craig Mazin to work faster? Because the world and I NEED IT. -
Chuck Lorre
Image Credit: Yuri Hasegawa/Redux The sitcom king himself, Lorre launched his first series at Max this year with “Bookie,” co-created by Nick Bakay. It immediately made headlines as Lorre surprisingly reunited with “Two & a Half Men” star Charlie Sheen. Lorre knows it’s all about building a fanbase, something he perfected with “Big Bang Theory” prequel “Young Sheldon,” which aired its sixth season in 2023; the upcoming seventh will be its last. Additionally, his groundbreaking comedy “Bob Hearts Abishola” will air one final season this year.
Last show you binged?
“The Crown” -
Ashley Lyle, Bart Nickerson and Jonathan Lisco
Before the second season of “Yellowjackets” dropped on the ever-changing Showtime, the twisty series was renewed for a third season. Lyle and Nickerson, who showrun alongside Lisco, have so much story to tell — and have multiple storylines to do so — that the series could continue for many years to come.
Last show you binged?
Lyle: “The Amazing Race.” I’m going to start a training regimen this year in the hopes of fulfilling my dream of being a contestant someday. This accidentally answers the second question because Mike White is the producer I admire most; not only do I love his writing, but he’s been on “Survivor” AND “Amazing Race.” Goals!
Lisco: “Devs”Producers you admire most?
Nickerson: George Meyer. I will never be able to express the extent to which “The Simpsons” shaped not only my sensibility but also the way I see the world. And reading about the approach of the secret comedy genius credited with “thoroughly” shaping the voice of the show, I think, helped me learn to approach my own work with a sense of profound seriousness. Even when attempting to make something that was first and foremost meant to be fun, which is always. -
Seth MacFarlane
With his animated comedies “Family Guy” and “American Dad!” continuing their long runs — in Season 22 and Season 21, respectively — MacFarlane isn’t slowing down. In addition to new seasons of the above airing, he worked on the TV adaptation of “Ted,” debuting this month on Peacock.
Most anticipated show of 2024?
Well, I spent most of the last year making “Ted,” so I can’t wait to watch it if someone loans me their Peacock password. -
Don Mancini, David Kirschner, Nick Antosca and Alex Hedlund
When Mancini created “Child’s Play” in 1988, little did he know he’d still be “working” with Chucky 36 years later. He now serves as showrunner on the Syfy/USA Network series “Chucky” — the third season dropped in October — alongside exec producers Kirschner, Antosca and Hedlund. Plus, the latter two have a big year ahead with “Cape Fear” in the works.
Producers you admire most?
Kirschner: Norman Lear has influenced me the most, as I lived for any of his shows growing up and he was instrumental in helping me bring my first feature film, “An American Tail,” to Steven Spielberg. Antosca: Rod SerlingMost anticipated show of 2024?
Mancini: I was praying for “The Gilded Age” to get a Season 3, if only for the hats.
Hedlund: I’m looking forward to more “Chucky” of course!” -
Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij
Seven years after co-creating “The OA,” Marling and Batmanglij returned with an entirely new world: FX’s miniseries “A Murder at the End of the World,” starring Emma Corrin. Together, the pair took turns writing and directing each episode of the thriller, which follows an amateur detective trying to solve a murder while on a retreat.
Producer you admire most?
Batmanglij: Ryan Murphy, Russell T. Davies and Alan BallMost anticipated show of 2024?
Marling: “Feud: Capote vs. The Swans.” I would also love a “PEN15” Season 3 … I know it’s not in the cards, but a woman can dream. -
Craig Mazin
Image Credit: Luke Fontana Not many shows made a splash in 2023 as much as “The Last of Us.” A TV adaptation of the famous video game, “Chernobyl” creator Mazin worked effortlessly with the game creator Neil Druckmann to launch the post-apocalyptic series for HBO. The series, which averaged around 32 million viewers per episode, landed 24 Emmy nominations for its first season.
Producer you admire most?
Vince Gilligan -
Danny McBride
HBO’s “Righteous Gemstones” continues to grow its popularity by the season, partially due to the work of co-creator McBride; he exec produces, directs, writes and stars in the black comedy, now three seasons in.
-
Tony McNamara
Image Credit: Frank Micelotta/Hulu/PictureGrou Although Hulu pulled the plug on “The Great” after its impressive third season, McNamara’s satirical comedy was a fan favorite that never shied away from taking risks — even killing off one of its leading, award-winning stars.
Last show you binged?
“The Other Black Girl” -
Lorne Michaels
Image Credit: FilmMagic Although Michaels is best-known for his unscripted shows — you may have heard of “Saturday Night Live,” “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” and “Late Night With Seth Meyers” — he also served as an exec producer on Apple TV+’s musical comedy “Schmigadoon!” and HBO Max’s “The Other Two,” the latter of which was canceled after its third, and most acclaimed, season.
-
Peter Morgan
Each time a new season of Morgan’s “The Crown” drops on Netflix, it begins trending on social media and tops Netflix’s Top 10 charts week after week. Although the penultimate season wasn’t the most popular, the historical drama returned with its final season — which included the death of Princess Diana — split into two parts. Morgan, who wrote (or co-wrote) every episode of the final season, continues his deal with Netflix, so stay tuned to see what’s next.
Producer you admire most?
The people that made me want to do what I do: David Chase, Jimmy McGovern and Yulian Semyonov. -
Janine Nabers and Donald Glover
When Amazon Prime Video’s “Swarm” dropped, viewers didn’t know what to expect. The story of a young girl obsessed with a pop star stood out from the competition thanks to creators Nabers and Glover. The series earned three Emmy nominations in a successful follow-up for both of them after six years of “Atlanta.” Glover will next star in Prime’s “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.”
Last show you binged?
Nabers: “1883.” I loved every second of it -
Ben Nedivi and Matt Wolpert
The fourth season of Apple TV+’s “For All Mankind” began streaming late last year and ended up on most top TV of 2023 lists. It was co-created by Wolpert, Nedivi and Ronald D. Moore; Nedevi and Wolpert have also written all of the seasons’ finales. The pair have worked together for years — previously on three seasons of “Fargo,” “American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson” and
“Umbrella Academy.”Last show you binged?
Wolpert: “Deadwood” Season 1, for the fifth time.Most anticipated show of 2024?
Nedivi: “Masters of the Air” -
Scott Neustadter, Lauren Neustadter and Reese Witherspoon
Some of the buzziest shows of the year came from the team at Hello Sunshine. Amazon Prime Video’s “Daisy Jones & the Six,” an adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s novel, earned nine Emmy nominations, with both Neustadters and Witherspoon exec producing. Lauren Neustadter and Witherspoon also served as exec producers on Apple TV+’s “The Last Thing He Told Me,” Hulu’s “Tiny Beautiful Things” and Apple TV+’s “The Morning Show.”
Most anticipated show of 2024?
L. Neustadter: “Palm Royale.” Kristen Wiig AND Laura Dern?! Heaven.Last show you binged?
S. Neustadter: “Love Has Won” on Max. I love me some cult documentaries. -
Ron Nyswaner
After writing “My Policeman” last year, it’s no surprise that Nyswaner followed it up with a project that landed him on this list. In his historical romance “Fellow Travelers,” Nyswaner tells the story of a decades-long volatile romance that began at the height of the Lavender Scare of the 1950s.
Last show you binged?
When I returned home from Toronto, where I’d shot “Fellow Travelers,” I started at the very beginning of “Succession” and binged all four seasons in a week — it was wonderful living inside the complicated minds of those characters and experiencing the brilliant architecture of one of the greatest television series of all time -
Tracy Oliver and Amy Poehler
With two critically acclaimed seasons of “Harlem,” creator Oliver and exec producer Poehler found a poignant, fresh way to tell the story of four college best friends now venturing into life, living in the upper Manhattan neighborhood. Additionally, Poehler serves as co-host and exec producer on Peacock’s “Baking It.”
Producer you admire most?
Poehler: Norman Lear.
Oliver: I have two! For me as a Black female creator, Shonda Rhimes has always been the GOAT. I was in college when “Grey’s” came out. When I learned a Black woman was behind this massive hit, it altered the course of my life. That was when I first started to take writing seriously. Two is Amy Poehler. Amy has been such a gracious mentor for me. She bet on me and our show, “Harlem,” even before “Girls Trip” came out. She saw something in me early on and was willing to throw her weight behind me. I’m deeply appreciative to Amy for betting on me. Throughout the years, I’ve been so incredibly inspired by her Virgo work ethic and how she actually attends meetings AND comes to set to play Justin Bieber’s “Peaches” to lighten the mood. Amy and “Peaches” are both delightful. -
Michael Patrick King
It’s not easy to follow up “Sex and the City,” but somehow, King did just that with “And Just Like That.” The second season, in fact, earned much better reviews than the first, with the core women — and yes, it even had a Samantha cameo — finding their rhythm once again.
Last show you binged?
The current season of “What We Do in the Shadows.” I love its darling storytelling sense and it is consistently a delight. -
Joe Port and Joe Wiseman
With more than 11 million viewers per episode across linear and streaming, CBS’ “Ghosts,” adapted by showrunners Port and Wiseman, continues to break through and reach new audiences.
Last show you binged?
Port: “The Gilded Age,” which I thoroughly enjoyed. On “Ghosts,” it’s one of the time periods we lampoon the most, because it has so many parallels to our own, and because Rebecca Wisocky, who plays our gilded age ghost, is so hilarious.Most anticipated show of 2024?
Wiseman: “Masters of the Air.” I loved “Band of Brothers” and “The Pacific,” and I can’t wait to see this next chapter. -
Joan Rater and Tony Phelan
“A Small Light,” produced, directed and written by Rater and Phelan, tells the powerful story of Miep Gies, the young girl who helped hide Anne Frank and her family during World War II. Following rave reviews, the National Geographic miniseries was available for streaming on Disney+ and Hulu, then its eight episodes aired on Freeform.
-
Shonda Rhimes, Betsy Beers and Krista Vernoff
In 2023, Rhimes and Beers continued their success with “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story” debuting at No. 1 on Netflix. It re-upped the popularity of “Bridgerton,” which will return in 2024 with its third season. While she’s now based at Netflix, Rhimes’ ABC series continued to see success last year: “Grey’s Anatomy,” run by Vernoff, aired its 19th season with “Station 19” airing its sixth. The latter will end in 2024.
Last show you binged?
Vernoff: “Colin From Accounts” — it is funny and sexy and smart and romantic, and made me laugh out loud every episode. -
Boots Riley
Image Credit: Variety via Getty Images After making headlines for his 2018 debut feature, “Sorry to Bother You,” Riley came back with his first television project. Riley serves as creator, writer and co-showrunner of Amazon Prime Video’s “I’m a Virgo,” with the comedy delving into complex topics while telling a compelling story of a 19-year-old Black teenager raised by his aunt.
Producer you most admire?
Michaela Coel. She understands that comedy and tragedy are the same thing. -
Taylor Sheridan
Image Credit: Getty Images Not many people in the business are busier than Sheridan. Although there weren’t any new episodes of Paramount Network’s “Yellowstone” this year — that should be coming in 2024 — he kept busy with “1923,” “Mayor of Kingstown,” “Lawmen: Bass Reeves” and “Special Ops: Lioness” all airing new episodes. In addition to producing, Sheridan wrote every episode of both “1923” and “Special Ops.”
-
Christopher Storer and Joanna Calo
While the first season of “The Bear” was critically acclaimed, exec producers Storer and Calo raised the stakes in the second season. Not only did they call in some heavy hitters for cameos — we’re talking Jamie Lee Curtis, Bob Odenkirk and Olivia Colman — they also expanded the lives of their beloved characters. In fact, viewership spiked 70% with the second season’s launch, the most-watched FX on Hulu premiere.
-
Charlotte Stoudt
Image Credit: Variety via Getty Images Stoudt came into “The Morning Show” as the new showrunner after two seasons had been completed — and did not hold back. The third season, which tackled everything from space travel and Elon Musk-like storylines to the Capitol attacks on Jan. 6, earned more Critics Choice nominations than any other TV show in 2023.
Most anticipated show of 2024?
“The Penguin.” Colin Farrell vs. Cristin Milioti. Yes, please. -
Lee Sung-Jin
Image Credit: IndieWire via Getty Images According to Nielsen’s weekly streaming ratings, subscribers watched 962 million minutes of “Beef” in its first four days on Netflix. The dark comedy, created, directed and written by Lee, earned 13 Emmy nominations. In November, Lee signed a multi-year deal with the service.

Liz Tigelaar and Stacey Silverman
Best Day Ever, the production company founded by Tigelaar and Silverman, created Hulu’s “Tiny Beautiful Things,” the critically acclaimed 2023 miniseries starring Kathryn Hahn and Merritt Weaver, based on the 2012 book by Cheryl Strayed.
Last show you binged?
Silverman: Over the strike, I rewatched all 156 episodes of “The Good Wife.” Even the second time around, Will’s death hit me hard, I am still in mourning.Producer you most admire?
Tigelaar: Mike White. I think he’s a visionary who has held true to himself and been unchanged by his success. I met him decades ago when we both worked on “Dawson’s Creek,” and he is the exact same person now that he was then. Be it writing, acting, directing or producing, he isn’t afraid to tell powerful, painful, ugly and beautiful truths about what it means to be human. Bonus, he was on “Survivor” and “The Amazing Race,” a real fave in my house. -
Dick Wolf
In case anyone wonders what works on broadcast TV, Wolf can serve as a reminder. The prolific producer has nine hours of television episodes on a week with NBC’s “Law & Order,” “Law & Order: SVU” and “Law & Order: Organized Crime,” “Chicago Fire,” “Chicago Med” and “Chicago P.D.,” and CBS’ “FBI,” “FBI: Most Wanted” and “FBI: International.” Next up, he’ll move into streaming and the half-hour format with the Amazon Prime Video procedural “On Call” coming in 2024.
Most anticipated show of 2024?
“On Call” -
Graham Yost
Image Credit: Courtesy of Apple Another busy man in TV? Yost. He served as an exec producer on Apple TV+’s “Slow Horses,” with Season 3 debuting at the end of 2023 with its renewals for Seasons 4 and 5 set; FX’s “Justified: City Primeval,” which could return for more episodes if FX wants it; and Apple TV+’s “Silo,” the dystopian series he created, is set to return for a second season in 2024.
