“We want a variety of people with different views on police to come to the show. And we want to take what they take.” Actress Traci Harmon, who plays Officer Traci Harmon, said: us. [“Executive producer] Elliot [Wolf] Really well put. He said, ‘We want to do a buffet and we want everyone to come to the table and eat together.’ That’s the problem.

While talking to usLoughlin, 60, endorsed: On callThis is the “intention” when “not attempting to comment” in any way. her co-star Eric LaSalle When I came on board to star and direct, I knew that would be a compelling part of the show.

“We’re trying to present believable, real characters. We all spent a shift or at least a shift riding with the police, responding to calls and observing, which was very helpful. As a director, that is my goal, along with the audience, to be able to get on board that cruiser and be a fly on the wall,” explained the actor, 62, who plays Sergeant Rasman. “We try to engage the audience and make them feel like they’re in that car with us and participating in these calls with us. “Everyone agreed on what we were trying to do.”

La Salle called the “main goal” to engage the audience “without commentary.”

“We are not saying [anything]We’re just announcing. It’s up to you to decide how to interpret these letters. “You may like some characters, and you may not like others,” he said. “You may agree with some of the characters [and] Maybe not. But our job is to present what we see as the truth and the multidimensionality of these characters.”

On call‘s mission to stand out was to adapt to the times.

“Our audience is evolving. Police procedurals are nothing new, and it’s definitely a Wolf Entertainment production. It’s a classic and everyone loves it,” Bellisario said. “The younger audience is mostly streaming. They’re watching less procedural and character-driven shows. We’ll tap into the world of law enforcement, but show it in a place you don’t see much of in real life: Long Beach. “It’s a whole new community and landscape.”

She concluded: “We’ll show you the case and we won’t settle it until it’s over. This season there is an important storyline that our characters follow. But it’s really about the time that goes between us and these relationships, how they build and fall apart, betrayals and beliefs. I think it’s a really incredible fusion of all these new ideas that come up with something completely original in the show.”
