Remembering Kevin Arkadie, Co-Creator of New York Undercover

Wolf Entertainment mourns the loss of Kevin Arkadie, an extraordinary writer, producer, and creative partner whose vision helped shape one of the most groundbreaking series in television history.

A longtime writer and producer, Kevin was best known for his role as co-creator and executive producer of New York Undercover, the groundbreaking 1990s drama that redefined what a network police show could be. Set on the streets of New York City, New York Undercover was unapologetically bold in its storytelling, casting, and point of view. At a time when television rarely reflected the lived experiences of many communities, Kevin helped create a series that embraced contemporary culture and told stories that felt real.

Beyond his creative achievements, Kevin was a trusted collaborator and a generous presence. His legacy lives on in the meaningful and memorable stories he helped tell. We remain grateful for his contributions, and he will be deeply missed and always remembered.
