NBC Bringing Back Law & Order

NBC has revived Law & Order for a 21st season, after having canceled the show more than a decade ago.

The series has been nominated for more than 50 Emmy Awards and won in 1997 for Outstanding Drama Series.

“There are very few things in life that are literally dreams come true,” said creator and executive producer Dick Wolf. “This is mine.”

“Law & Order is quite simply one of the most iconic shows in television history, and the idea of continuing its legacy and partnering with Dick on an all-new season is nothing short of exhilarating,” said Susan Rovner, chairman of entertainment content at NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, “This is great news for NBC as well as TV fans everywhere.”

“The return of the flagship Law & Order series for a pivotal 21st season is a proud moment for Dick and a proud moment for us, his studio partners,” said Pearlena Igbokwe, chairman of Universal Studio Group.

Wolf, Rick Eid (writer/showrunner), Arthur Forney and Peter Jankowski will serve as executive producers. The series will be produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, in association with Wolf Entertainment.
