Production[edit]
Development[edit]
On September 28, 2021 NBC renewed Law & Order for a twenty-first season revival, nearly a dozen years after its abrupt cancellation.[1][2][3] Despite being billed as a twenty-first season, NBC gave a "straight to series" order,[4] a term typically used only for new television series.[5] Series creator Dick Wolf will return as an executive producer.[6] Wolf signed an overall deal with NBC and Universal Television in 2020 that will keep at the network through 2025.[7] Rick Eid, who was an executive producer and the incumbent showrunner on Chicago P.D. and FBI, which share a fictional universe with the Law & Order franchise, all of which produced by Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television, stepped down as showrunner of Chicago P.D. to take over showrunning duties of Law & Order.[8] Eid will also be an executive producer during the season and retains that role on Chicago P.D. as well.[8] Arthur Forney and Peter Jankowski will also serve as executive producers.[9] When first announced it was unclear whether season would air in the 2021–2022 or 2022–2023 television season;[10] it was later reported that it would premiere as a mid-season replacement in 2022.[11]
Casting[edit]
On November 1, 2021, Jeffery Donovan was cast as a series regular to portray a New York Police Department detective.[12][13] At that time it was also reported that Sam Waterston and Anthony Anderson, who starred in earlier seasons of the series, and additional former cast members were also in talks to return.[14] Waterson previously stated in 2015 that he would be open to returning.[15] Other previous cast members including S. Epatha Merkerson and Alana De La Garza hold starring roles on Chicago Med and FBI, respectively, with Chicago Med also being part of the franchise and a Wolf Entertainment series.[16]
