Law & Order and Law & Order: SVU will be back for the 2024/25 season after NBC renewed the pair of shows but spinoff Law & Order: Organized Crime is in a slightly more precarious position. The network has renewed Law & Order for Season 24, while Law & Order: SVU will be back for Season 26.
Tony Goldwyn will join the show as the Manhattan district attorney.
The long-running crime franchises NCIS and Law & Order continue to endure — and even expand — after decades on the air.
Jeffrey Donovan will not be returning for Season 23 of Dick Wolf’s venerable NBC procedural, TVLine has learned. The search is underway for a new series regular to fill the void left by Donovan’s Det. Frank Cosgrove. NBC declined comment, but sources close to the show say that Donovan was let go for creative reasons.
NBC earlier this week picked up all six Wolf Entertainment series — Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., Chicago Med, Law & Order, Law & Order: SVU and Law & Order: Organized Crime — for next season. The renewals came with an asterisk as casts were told that they will appear in fewer episodes next year. The development comes on the heels of CBS recently renewing veteran drama Blue Bloods for a 14th season after the cast agreed to a 25% pay cut. And, the actors on another recently renewed CBS series, comedy Bob ❤️ Abishola, also had to agree to a substantial, double-digit salary reduction for the show to get a Season 5 renewal. (According to sources, it was less than 25%). Blue Bloods comes from CBS sibling CBS Studios, Bob ❤️ Abishola from an outside supplier, Warner Bros. TV.
NBC today renewed all six of its Dick Wolf-produced shows including the One Chicago franchise — Chicage Med, Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. — and the trio of Law & Order dramas — the mothership series, Law & Order: SVU and Law & Order: Organized Crime — for the 2023-24 season.
Exclusives

For the first time in the history of the Law & Order franchise, all three of Dick Wolf’s dramas on NBC will come together for a special crossover event to help the network kick off its 2022-23 TV season.

The three-hour event will air Thursday, Sept. 22 at 8-11 p.m. ET/PT on NBC and on Peacock the next day.
The Law & Order universe has staged its fair share of crossovers, but it’s never dun-dun this before. A crossover involving all three of NBC’s Law & Order series — that’s the revived mothership, Law & Order: SVU and Law & Order: Organized Crime — is being eyed to launch the trio’s respective new seasons on Thursday, Sept. 22, sources confirm.
Anthony Anderson is not returning to Law & Order for season 22. The actor, who reprised his role as Detective Kevin Bernard on Season 21, had a one-year deal and will not return for the next season, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.
The pickups mean all nine of producer Dick Wolf’s scripted series — across two networks — will return in 2022-23.
District Attorney Jack McCoy is back. Sam Waterston, one of the longest-tenured Law & Order cast members, has closed a deal to reprise his beloved character in the upcoming 21st season of Dick Wolf’s venerable crime drama, which premieres Feb. 24 as part of a Law & Order Thursday lineup.

Long-Running Procedurals Losing Traction
TV shows are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the TV networks, which air them as long as they keep up their ratings, and the producers, who churn out new episodes for as long as they can. Sometimes, the two continue to put the shows on the screen even as a fickle public starts to lose interest. This is one of those stories.
The flagship drama has been sold for weekend runs by NBC Universal Domestic Television Distribution to station groups including Fox, CBS, Cox, Gannett, Hearst and Sunbeam for its debut in broadcast syndication next fall.
