NBC Renews LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT, CHICAGO Trio

NBC has renewed four Dick Wolf-produced shows: LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT, CHICAGO FIRE, CHICAGO P.D., and CHICAGO MED.

The Mariska Hargitay-led SVU will enter its 20th season next year. The L&O mothership was notoriously canceled in season 20, which robbed the series the opportunity to surpass GUNSMOKE as the longest-running live-action series. (THE SIMPSONS just passed GUNSMOKE’s episode count last month.)

Over in the CHICAGO universe, the renewal marks the seventh for FIRE, sixth for P.D., and fourth for MED.

Which renewal are you most excited about?

NBC Announces 2015-2016 Schedule

NBC is going drama/reality-heavy for its fall 2015 lineup, with only one hour of comedy scheduled in the entire week.

“We’re attacking the new season with the same programming strategy that successfully turned NBC around — a slate of provocative and innovative series and events that cut through the clutter and will continue to build on our momentum,” said Robert Greenblatt, Chairman, NBC Entertainment in a statement. “We have several powerful new dramas and attention-getting new comedies, including the return of ‘Undateable,’ which will be broadcast live every week next season. Live programming is one more way to make a show undeniable.”

“We can’t wait for the fall season and the chance to roll out our lineup of distinctive, innovative new dramas and comedies, scheduled with the kind of lead-in support that will give each of our new shows the optimum chance to find their audiences and deliver on their outstanding potential,” said Jennifer Salke, President, NBC Entertainment. “The fall lineup gives you only half the story. We truly program on a 52-week basis and are putting virtually the same amount of programming muscle behind our mid-season lineup, with some of the most high-profile concepts and biggest names on television joining the schedule starting at midseason and extending throughout the remainder of the broadcast year.”

“Unscripted programming has played a key role in NBC’s two consecutive season-long wins, from ‘The Voice’ to ‘America’s Got Talent’ to ‘American Ninja Warrior,’” said Paul Telegdy, President, Alternative and Late Night Programming, NBC Entertainment. “We’re excited to build on that momentum with some of the most inventive breakthrough alternative concepts coming in the new season, including ‘First Dates,’ ‘Little Big Shots’ and ‘Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris,’ featuring one of America’s most phenomenal performing talents hosting the U.S. adaptation of a smash-hit British series.”

Here’s the full NBC fall schedule, which includes BLINDSPOT getting the post-VOICE Monday slot, and HEROES REBORN kicking off Thursdays… Read more

LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT: What You Missed on Your Summer Vacation

LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT season 16 kicks off tonight!

Take a look at everything you missed this summer, including photos from tonight’s season premiere, an episode tease, and all the links you’ll need to catch up on what went down…

NBC’s description of the premiere: “Sergeant Benson juggles work and her new role as foster mother to baby Noah Porter. Amaro, now working the traffic beat in Queens, arrests an underage prostitute with connections to Noah’s mother Ellie, who was “greenlit” by her pimp and brutally murdered. Amaro’s undercover work sets off a chain of events that puts everyone connected to the case – even baby Noah – in danger. Meanwhile, a new detective assigned to Manhattan SVU (guest star Peter Scanavino) starts off on the wrong foot.”

LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT Season 16 Premiere Clips: Baby Noah is Threatened, and Olivia Bonds with Her Foster Son

We’re a week away from the LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT season 16 premiere, and NBC has released two clips from “Girls Disappeared.” And given that last season concluded with Olivia getting custody of Baby Noah, it makes sense that the two teases for the episode are centered around him — one, a loving moment Olivia shares with him, and another where he’s threatened.

Check them out…

LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT Season 16 Premiere: ‘Girls Disappeared’ Photos

With LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT’s season 15 finale giving Benson a foster son and Amaro finding himself in trouble (again), season 16 is going to start off a bit differently: Olivia will have to balance her work with her newfound motherhood, while Amaro has been demoted/isn’t working with his fellow SVU officers.

Check out some photos from the show’s 16th season finale, “Girls Disappeared”…

SVU returns Wednesday, September 24th at 9 PM on NBC.

NBC Touts ‘Woman Crush Wednesdays’ in New Ad for LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT, CHICAGO PD, and MYSTERIES OF LAURA

Wednesdays nights on NBC will be led by tough female cops (with MYSTERIES OF LAURA, LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT, and CHICAGO PD), so the network brought Mariska Hargitay (SVU), Debra Messing (MOL), and Sophia Bush (CPD) together to film a promo touting “Woman Crush Wednesdays.” (Which is often a trend on Twitter.)

NBC at TCA: Bob Greenblatt on the Future of LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT

For LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT fans, the semi-late renewal of the series came as a bit of a stress — especially since the mothership was abruptly canceled in 2010 with no proper resolution/intended series finale.

After NBC Chairman Bob Greenblatt participated in the NBC exec session during the Television Critics Association press tour, I asked him how important it was to end the franchise — eventually — on the right note.

NBC Announces 2014-2015 Schedule

Wow, NBC is shaking everything up.

The network has released its schedule, and PARKS AND REC (which will have its final season next year) is midseason TBD, THE BLACKLIST (this year’s big breakout hit) will be moving all over the schedule (and getting the post-Super Bowl spot), and the Thursday comedy block is gone. (And PARENTHOOD has officially been renewed for a final season, but that’s a little less shocking.)

LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT: NBC Boss Robert Greenblatt on Cast Changes and the Show’s Future, Plus Dick Wolf Teases a CHICAGO PD Crossover

LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT has had its share of shakeups over the past few seasons, but the past few months have led to two mainstays departing the squad: Sergeant Munch (Richard Belzer) and Captain Cragen.

“I think the cast member changes have been the natural attrition of a show that’s 15 years old,” Robert Greenblatt told reporters after his executive session.. “I think it’s been great to bring new cast members into the show as well.”

But just because the show is down two people, Greenblatt said fans shouldn’t expect any new faces to suddenly appear any time soon.
