On Call is a gripping police procedural drama that revolves around two patrolling officers of the Long Beach Police Department. The show premiered on Prime Video on January 9, 2025.
The series marks Wolf Entertainment’s foray into streaming after ruling over network television with shows such as FBI: International, FBI: Most Wanted, Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., Law & Order, and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
However, On Call is nothing like other procedural dramas because a significant portion of the show has been shot with hand-held camera, bodycam, and dashcam, which immerses the viewers completely into the world of the patrolling officers.
Prime Video follows a weekly schedule in releasing new episodes for some shows, while in other cases drops an entire season together. This had left fans speculating what pattern the streaming platform would follow for On Call. Read on to know about it.

What is On Call about?
The series revolves around Traci Harmon and Alex Diaz, patrolling officers of the Long Beach Police Department. While the former is an experienced veteran who trains her juniors, the latter is a rookie who joined the department recently.
The two officers have different outlooks toward their job and different personalities, but share a common goal: To help citizens by patrolling the streets and heading to the crime scenes on emergency calls. The show blends high-stakes drama with action and emotions that make it an engaging watch. As per Prime Video:
“On Call is an adrenalized and visceral police drama that follows a rookie and veteran officer duo as they go on patrol in Long Beach, California.”
“Shot with a mixture of hand-held cameras, bodycam, and dash-cam footage to create a cinema verité effect, the innovative series explores the morality of protecting and serving a community.”
The series stars Troian Bellisario as Officer Traci Harmon, a senior officer who trains new recruits and is unsure about her own place in the team. Brandon Larracuente plays Alex Diaz, a rookie who joins Traci in the patrols.
Being a new member, Alex soon comes face to face with the reality of his challenging job and realizes it is not as easy as he thought. Troian and Brandon apart, the cast includes Lori Loughlin as Lieutenant Bishop, Eriq La Salle as Sergeant Lasman, and Rich Ting as Tyson Koyoma.
