Original Law & Order stars Anderson and Sam Waterston only signed one-year deals to return to the NBC revival for its 21st season. As Deadline's Nellie Andreeva reports: "Anderson wanted to support Dick Wolf in the relaunch of the mothership of the franchise for one season and always planned to move on after that. Fellow original Law & Order star, Sam Waterston, also had signed a one-year deal for Season 21. It is unclear whether he would return for Season 22. In a promising sign, the veteran actor appeared on stage of NBCUniversal’s upfront, which showcased programming and talent for the upcoming season."
