Law & Crime signs with WME as Court TV owner builds true-crime reach
Law & Crime has signed with WME for representation in all areas.
The deal covers the true-crime organisation that owns Court TV. The Hollywood Reporter reported the agreement on Sept. 17, 2026.
Representation in all areas means one agency acts for the company across its business, from programming and distribution to commercial partnerships. This mandate is for the company. Founder and chief executive Dan Abrams continues to have his personal on-air work represented by UTA.
In television practice, that type of brief usually covers advice on growth, sales of finished programmes and talks with platforms and advertisers.
Abrams founded Law & Crime and leads it as chief executive. Rachel Stockman is president. The two titles were confirmed in the report of the signing.
The group operates four 24/7 networks, meaning four channels that transmit round the clock. It has produced more than 2,200 episodes across more than 40 original series. An episode count on that scale reflects years of commissions, shoots and edits.
Combined, Law & Crime and Court TV have more than 12 million subscribers on YouTube and 24 million followers across social platforms. Those figures describe the joint reach of the two brands.
The viewing totals come with specific periods. In the first quarter of 2026, the two brands generated more than 1.25 billion social video views. Across the full calendar year of 2025, they amassed more than 700 million hours of content watched across platforms, according to figures cited by The Hollywood Reporter.
Hours and views measure different habits. A view can be brief. An hour watched means someone stayed. Trade reporters cite both because one captures reach and the other captures time spent.
No new programmes, renewals or cancellations were disclosed alongside the signing. The news is the representation itself.
For viewers, this means no immediate change on screen. A deal of this kind sits behind the camera. It concerns who takes the calls on partnerships, programme sales and expansion.
What makes this stand out is volume. Live court coverage fills hours that scripted television cannot fill without a shoot. Two thousand episodes require crews and schedules. Twelve million subscribers require steady output.
