NBC announced today that Law & Order has been picked up for Season 25. The news comes a week before the drama wraps its current 24th season.

The flagship series premiered in 1990, going on to air 456 episodes across 20 seasons before being cancelled in 2010. It became known for following a two-part format, with the first portion of each episode focused on the investigation of a crime, and the second portion detailing its prosecution. The show spawned a total of six spin-offs, two of which are currently on the air.

The network revived Law & Order for a 21st season in 2022, slotting it in as a midseason entry with a 10-episode run that was its shortest to-date. Season 22 saw it move to a regular fall premiere with a longer run, only to see Season 23 shortened to 13 episodes due to the writers strike. Season 24 got back on track with a more typical 22-episode run.

Franchise mate 'Law & Order: SVU' was renewed today as well for the 2025-2026 season.
