'Law & Order' Renewed for Season 24
'Law & Order'
Tony Goldwyn must be a good luck charm, because one week after he debuted on Law & Order Season 23, the show was renewed for Season 24. The network simultaneously ordered a 26th season Law & Order: SVU while keeping its Christopher Meloni spinoff, Law & Order: Organized Crime on the bubble (dun dun!).
Read on for everything we know about Law & Order Season 24 so far, including possible release month and cast.

Is there a Law & Order Season 24?
Yes. NBC announced on March 21, 2024 that the show had been renewed for Season 24. It's currently airing its 23rd season, which is about 10-episodes shorter than usual due to production delays that resulted from the 2023 writers' and actors' strikes.
What is the release date for Law & Order Season 24?
Season 24 will air during the 2024-2024 primetime season, which means it will come back this fall, likely in September.
Who is cast in Law & Order Season 24?
NBC hasn't made any casting announcements at this point, so for now let's assume the main players (newbies included) will be back. They include:

Will Jeffrey Donovan be back for Law & Order Season 24?
At this point, there's no reason to believe Jeffrey Donovan, who played no-nonsense, old-school detective Frank Cosgrove, will be back. After starring in Seasons 21 and 22, he did not return for Season 23.
