NBC Extends Law & Order Run with Season 26 Renewal
NBC has renewed Law & Order for a 26th season (2026–27), keeping the flagship drama on Thursdays and moving it to the 10 p.m. slot after SVU. The late renewal came from scheduling and budget considerations, with SVU renewed earlier and other NBC/Wolf Entertainment series also receiving renewals. The show remains a solid NBC performer, averaging about 4.75 million live viewers this season and maintaining a strong streaming presence on Peacock and Hulu; it’s produced by Universal Television in coordination with Wolf Entertainment.
