The show, a spinoff of Emmy Award-winning producer Dick Wolf’s FBI franchise, ran for six seasons starting in January 2020 and achieved commercial success. Its series finale aired on May 20, 2025. It was produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, in association with Wolf Entertainment.
