Both “Law & Order” and “Law & Order: SVU” have been renewed at NBC for the 2025-2026 broadcast season, Variety has learned.
With the renewals, “Law & Order” will return for its 25th season, while “SVU” will be back for its 27th. These are the last remaining Dick Wolf shows on broadcast awaiting word on new seasons. NBC previously renewed all three of the “One Chicago” shows, while CBS has canceled two of the Wolf Entertainment-produced “FBI” shows and ordered a new show in that franchise starring Tom Ellis.
