The first incarnation of this new unit will be introduced in the latter part of the upcoming 20th season of <em>SVU<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs <em>Law &amp; Order: SVU<\/em>\u00a0enters its remarkable 20thseason, it is exciting to get back into business with Dick Wolf on a new <em>Law &amp; Order<\/em>\u00a0incarnation that feels extremely timely,\u201d said Lisa Katz, co-president of scripted\u00a0programming\u00a0at NBC Entertainment. \u201cConsidering that last year there was a double-digit rise in hate crimes in our 10 largest cities\u2014the highest total in over a decade\u2014it seemed like this topic is begging to be explored.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tracey Pakosta, co-president of scripted programming at NBC Entertainment, added: \u201cWe\u2019re confident that Dick and Warren will examine these cases in all their complexity and deliver another riveting series for our country, currently grappling with an escalation of these crimes and the motivations behind them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs with all of my crime shows, I want to depict what\u2019s really going on in our cities and shine a light on the wide-ranging victims and show that justice can prevail,\u201d Wolf said. \u201cTwenty years ago when <em>SVU<\/em>\u00a0began, very few people felt comfortable coming forward and reporting these crimes, but when you bring the stories into people\u2019s living rooms\u2014with characters as empathetic as Olivia Benson\u2014a real dialogue can begin. That\u2019s what I hope we can do with this new show in a world where hate crimes have reached an egregious level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m extremely impressed by the actual men and women investigating these cases in a city as complicated and diverse as New York,\u201d Leight said. \u201cThe work they are doing puts them on the front lines in a battle for the soul of our city and nation. I\u2019m thrilled about the chance to reunite with Dick and NBC to portray the reality of this crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emmy Award-winning producer Dick Wolf is working on Law &#038;
