The new season of the long-running series is about to star in the US. But who will star?
As the Law & Order franchise continues on apace, the original show’s 23rd season is just around the corner, proving its ongoing strength following its 2021 revival.
The show had originally been cancelled in 2010, with its spin-offs Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Law & Order: Organised Crime continuing on in its stead.
However, with a cast now led by Sam Waterston, Hugh Dancy and Camryn Manheim, the revival is rolling into its 23rd season, with more cases to crack and criminals to be prosecuted. But when will it air in both the US and the UK?
Read on for everything you need to know about Law & Order season 23.
When will Law & Order season 23 be released?
Law & Order season 23 will start airing in the US on NBC from Thursday 18th January 2024, at 8pm.
However, fans in the UK may be waiting a while longer until they get to see the episodes. The 21st season of the show has only just started airing on this side of the pond, with episodes starting to release from 9th January 2024 at 9pm on 5USA.
With the rest of the 21st season and the 22nd season still to air before we get to the 23rd, it might be some time until fans in the UK get a chance to see the new season.
