Dick Wolf‘s series will continue to reign on the NBC schedule for another season. In fact, the American network has just announced the renewal of the prolific producer’s six series. But could it be otherwise when the franchises One Chicago and Law & Order are at the top of the ratings?
In terms of viewers, Chicago Fire, Chicago Med and Chicago PD take the top three spots in the scripted rankings ahead of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. With Night Court, which has already been renewed for the 2023-2024 season, in fifth place, the next two spots go to Law & Order and Law & Order: Organized Crime.
In a statement, Lisa Katz, President, Scripted Programming, NBCUniversal and Streaming, said she knows how much viewers care about all of the characters on these shows, adding, “we can’t wait to bring more of their stories to the forefront next season. A huge thank you to Dick and his amazing team who are the masters of producing incredibly compelling television week after week.”
For his part, Dick Wolf indicates that the renewal of the series One Chicago and Law & Order “is the ultimate accolade to our incredible casts, producers and writers. I’d also like to thank our loyal fans who have kept our NBC shows on the air for what will be a cumulative 84 seasons.”
Next season, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit will begin its 25th season on NBC, while Law & Order will return for a 23rd season. Law & Order: Organized Crime, the newest series in the franchise, will begin its fourth season. On the One Chicago side, Chicago Fire, Chicago PD and Chicago Med will return for seasons 12, 11 and 9, respectively.
All of these series have been ordered for 22 episodes for the 2023-2024 season, with the exception of Law & Order: Organized Crime, which will return in a reduced 13-episode format.
