Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Law & Order is going into its fourth season this Fall, and today, they lost their fourth original cast member from the revival.

Anthony Anderson only appeared in the first season. But then, the third season saw three departures. Jeffrey Donovan parted ways just before filming started this season, and Sam Waterson said goodbye after over 400 episodes.

And today, Camryn Manheim announced that the season finale will be her final episode.

“I had the most incredible experience being a part of the Law & Order Universe, and more importantly the Wolfpack. I’m so thankful for the three wonderful seasons that I spent with this wildly talented cast of merry pranksters. Mehcad Brooks, Reid Scott, Connie Shi, Anthony Anderson, Jeffrey Donovan, Hugh Dancy, Odelya Halevi, Tony Goldwyn and Sam Waterston. Not to mention the stellar guest stars that came in and out of the studio doors.

“I loved showing up for work each and every day, loved keeping the boys in line at Precinct 27 and most importantly, loved spending time with the most hard working, professional and kindhearted crew. They are truly New York’s finest.

“Something wonderful awaits me around the corner, and I can’t wait to see what it is. Until then… Go Knicks!”

Last month, there were reports that Law & Order: Organized Crime is moving from NBC to Peacock for its fifth season. And today, the streamer confirmed the move.

The procedural brought Elliott Stabler back to the Law & Order world. However, it did not find the success that NBC was hoping for.

Personally, I think the series will do better on the streaming service because they can curse and show nudity. I am sure Meloni is looking forward to —and so are the fans of the Zaddy!

Chicago Fire is entering its 13th season in the Fall. So, it would make sense that some of the actors would like to move on and do something different. Several stars, including Jesse Spencer, Lauren Herman, and Kara Kilmer, have departed the first responders procedural.

Today, Deadline is reporting that another OG is stepping down. Eamonn Walker, who plays Chief Boden, will no longer be a series regular. However, he will most likely appear in a few episodes in the future.

Deadline says it was his decision to be a part-time player. As for how we will say goodbye to his character, this is the description for May 22nd’s season finale: “Boden makes a decision that impacts the race for Deputy Commissioner.”

I can’t say I blame him. His character hasn’t been used much in the last few seasons. And how many times can he save Firehouse 51?

It will be interesting to see who will replace him in the firehouse. I just hope it is not someone who is trying to close it down again. That storyline is boring at this point.

When it comes to Walker, I cannot wait to see what he does next.

The good news is that Law & Order: Organized Crime is still alive for season 5. The bad news is that it is moving to Peacock for ten episodes.

However, moving to Peacock might not be a bad thing because they will promote it more than NBC ever did. So, it is probably a great thing.

Are you going to follow the Dick Wolf procedural to the streaming service?

On that note, Wolf no longer controls three weeknights of television. He only has series on two and two-thirds of the broadcast week, with three FBI shows on CBS’s Tuesdays, three Chicago dramas on NBC’s Wednesdays, and two Law & Orders on NBC’s Thursdays. He better be working on a new Law & Order so he can have Thursdays fully back.

In 2018, CBS got into the Dick Wolf business with FBI. Since then, they added two more shows to the franchise, FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International.

All three shows are doing well. Therefore, it should not be a surprise that CBS picked all of them up for next season today.

“The All-FBI Tuesday is a powerful force to be reckoned with on our primetime schedule,” said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment. “Dick Wolf and the talent in front of and behind the camera on all three series continue to deliver top-notch storytelling, riveting action and intrigue that has captivated a dedicated fanbase steadily across multiple seasons. We are excited to see what next season holds for all these heroic characters.”

With these renewals, 8 out of Wolf Entertainment’s 9 scripted shows will be on the schedule next season. The only series waiting to hear its fate is Law & Order: Organized Crime.
