Law & Order Plot and Cast

The basic premise of the show follows a two-part approach: the first half-hour is the investigation of a crime, usually murder, and apprehension of a suspect by New York City Police Department detectives; the second half is the prosecution of the defendant by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office. Plots are often based on real cases that recently made headlines, although the motivation for the crime and the perpetrator may be different.

Coming to the cast, there have been frequent changes since the show’s premiere in 1990. However, sources around the internet state that Christopher Meloni, Kelli Giddish, Philip Winchester, and Anthony Anderson would play the lead roles. Further additions are expected to be announced soon.

Law & Order Season 23 Release Date

Law & Order was canceled by NBC in 2010 and it was later revived for Season 21, which premiered in February 2022. It was renewed for a 22nd season in May 2022, which premiered on September 22, 2022. On April 10, 2023, the series was renewed for its 23rd season. However, there is no specific release date available for the upcoming season.

The number of episodes for the upcoming season is not confirmed since it has been different in the last 22 seasons. The series is produced by Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television.
