Law & Order: SVU will extend its record run for a prime-time drama series to a 25th season, while the original Law & authoritywhich returned in 2021 after 11 years, will enter its 23rd season and likely pass 500 episodes in 2023-24. L&O: organized crime is set for its fourth season.
Fire in Chicago will air its 12th season in 2023-24, while Chicago PD enters its 11th year and Chicago med his ninth. Wolf also produces CBS’ three-part show FBI franchise, which is in the middle of a two-year order that runs through next season.
“I’m excited to continue my four-decade relationship with Universal Television and NBC,” said Wolf. “Having all six shows picked up again is the ultimate accolade for our incredible casts, producers and writers. I also want to thank our loyal fans who have kept our NBC shows on the air for a total of 84 seasons.
Lisa Katz, president of scripted programming at NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, added, “We understand the emotional connection our audience has with these characters, and we can’t wait to bring more of their stories to the fore next season. A big thank you to Dick and his amazing team who are masters of producing incredibly compelling television week after week.”
All three Chicago shows are among the top 10 shows on broadcast TV this season (excluding sports) in both total viewership and adults 18-49, according to Nielsen’s seven-day ratings. Chicago PD is tied to that of Fox 911 as the top drama in the 18-49 demographic loved by advertisers.
