Law & Order S23
From legendary Emmy-winning executive producer and creator Dick Wolf, the original Law & Order resumes its classic two-part approach following both the police who investigate crime and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders. Season 23 is the third instalment of the franchise that relaunched in 2021.
Having won six Emmys and 50 awards, television’s defining procedural drama starts its 23rd season in the wake of a murder on campus, examining the line between free speech and hate speech at a university. Meanwhile, Detective Jalen Shaw (Mehcad Brooks from Supergirl) is still getting used to working with his new partner, Detective Vincent Riley (Reid Scott from Veep).
Returning favourites include District Attorney Jack McCoy (Oscar nominee Sam Waterston), Assistant District Attorney Nolan Price (Critics’ Choice nominee Hugh Dancy) and Lt Kate Dixon (Emmy winner Camryn Manheim).
