Eleven years ago, NBC murdered Law & Order. That was then. Today, they announced that they are resurrecting it for a 21st season.
Even though Dick Wolf has three FBI series on CBS, three Chicago dramas, and two Law & Orders currently on the air, he had this to say about this news, “There are very few things in life that are literally dreams come true. This is mine.”
If it wasn’t for Law & Order, I doubt those eight shows would be on the air. L&O gave birth to so many shows, so you can’t blame the flagship’s father for being so happy for his eldest child.
I am assuming this came about because NBC needed to fill the hole that was emptied because Wolf decided not to move with Law & Order: For the Defense.
If CBS could bring back CSI, then NBC can bring back Law & Order. It is like 2000 all over again.
On that note, when it comes to who will be back and when it will be back, we do not know. All of that will be revealed at a later date.
