Law & Order, which NBC revived in 2022 for its 21st season, has been renewed for Season 25. Law & Order: Special Victims Unit will be back for Season 27. The renewals comes days after NBC renewed Wolf's Chicago P.D., Chicago Fire and Chicago Med. "The pickups assure that the two franchises — which come from mega-producer Dick Wolf’s Wolf Entertainment and Universal TV — will remain intact on NBC next season as the broadcaster likely reduces its scripted footprint to make room for primetime NBA telecasts," says The Hollywood Reporter's Rick Porter. "(The third current Law & Order series, Organized Crime, now streams on Peacock and is midway through its fifth season.)" Porter adds: "Both shows are still reliable audience draws for NBC, with SVU averaging about 5.9 million viewers and Law & Order about 5.2 million in Nielsen’s seven-day linear ratings — and significantly more on streaming. NBC says streaming of L&O on Peacock has more than doubled this season (though it doesn’t provide detailed numbers) vs. 2023-24."
