"The stakes are higher": 'FBI' star Missy Peregrym talks about the upcoming procedural and what sets it apart from the rest

While little is still known how the 'FBI' will pan out, the cast features a talented ensemble of actors and actresses who are sure to do it justice. Missy Peregrym is one of them.

Dick Wolf is a name that is now synonymous with legal dramas. After all, the television producer is the creator and executive producer of the 'Law & Order' franchise, which went on tie 'Gunsmoke' for the longest-running dramatic show in television history and was one of TV's most successful franchises. It was also nominated for the most consecutive Emmy Awards of any primetime drama series and included six police dramas as well as another four international spinoffs.

But besides 'Law & Order,' Wolf also co-created police drama 'New York Undercover' for Fox, courtroom reality series 'Crime & Punishment' for NBC, and more recently, creative and executive produced the 'Chicago' franchise which includes four Chicago-based police, courtroom, fire, and medical dramas. The 71-year-old has also written a trilogy of books — 'The Intercept,' 'The Execution,' and 'The Ultimatum' —surrounding N.Y.P.D detective Jeremy Fisk. So, when the news broke that Wolf would soon be involved in another of his renowned dramas, 'FBI,' one could reasonably assume that it was going to be yet another barnstormer.
