The Law & Order franchise’s latest iteration, subtitled For the Defense, will not become an NBC series after all, TVLine has learned.
In May, NBC revealed that its Thursday-night lineup would consist entirely of shows that Wolf created, with Law & Order: For the Defense, Law & Order: SVU and that show’s Chris Meloni-led spinoff Law & Order: Organized Crime filling primetime.
Carol Mendelsohn (CSI) was set as showrunner, with Law & Order creator Dick Wolf, Arthur Forney, Julie Weitz, Peter Jankowski and Mendelsohn executive-producers.
We hear that the network and studio will work together to develop another Law & Order series.
