NBC has renewed the popular Law & Order series
“The iconic ‘Law & Order’ brand has long been synonymous with NBC and we couldn’t be more excited to bring back all three of these dramas for the 2022-23 season,” said Lisa Katz, president of scripted programming for NBCU Entertainment and Streaming, in a statement to Variety. “It’s a testament to the brilliance of Dick Wolf’s storytelling that audiences remain compelled by these unforgettable characters week after week, year after year.”
“Dreams do come true,” added Wolf. “The renewals of the entire Wednesday and Thursday night lineups is the ultimate verification of our partnership with NBC and Universal Television. I personally want to thank the talented writers and casts, the producers who keep the trains running on time and the crews who tirelessly turn out outstanding shows despite a degree of difficulty never before experienced due to the pandemic.”
The return of the original Law & Order, the first new season in thirteen years, the series was welcomed back by audiences and critics. On Rotten Tomatoes the series’ revival earned a 77% approval rating. Meloni’s Law & Order: Organized Crime on the otherhand had a more tepid response, being labeled “Rotten” with just a 45% approval rating on the review aggregator.
